I seriously cannot put into words how much I LOVE the photography community. 🥹📸
The night before I had a wedding to photograph, my son became incredibly sick high fever, chills, headache, throwing up, and just completely exhausted. As a mom, my babies will always come first, but as a photographer, I also had a bride counting on me for one of the most important days of her life. I felt absolutely terrible being put in that position.
So I reached out to other photographers… and the amount of people who immediately offered to help honestly blew me away. 🥹
Blue Shutters Photography stepped RIGHT up to the plate, even with a busy personal week ahead of her. No hesitation just kindness and a willingness to help.
And of course the amazing Kayla from Lone Roan Photography (who I also share a business with) who I originally was going with, completely understood the situation and was excited to take on the role even if it was alone.
THIS is why I will forever say there is room for ALL of us in photography.
There is literally no competition in my eyes. We can have different styles, different prices, different editing, different businesses and different goals and still cheer each other on.
Every photographer I’ve had the privilege of meeting has wanted to help, encourage, teach, support, and see other photographers succeed. And when life happens, this community SHOWS UP!!!!
At the end of the day, we’re all just people behind the cameras. We’re moms, wives, friends, business owners, and humans with real lives happening outside of our galleries and sessions.
I’m just incredibly grateful that when I needed help, I had an entire community willing to say, “I’ve got you.” 🥹🤍
I love this career.
I love this community.
And I’m so thankful for the photographers who reminded me this weekend exactly why. 📸🫶🏼
