Marina and Mason are having a baby!!!! ☀️ and I am over the moon for them! 💛
part 1 of probably 20 bc I am simply obsessed.
Marina Williams | Photographer & Educator
If someone would have told me this would happen, I would’ve literally laughed in their face.
6 years ago I was sitting in my kitchen with an old ass nikon dslr, subscribed to Marina’s made-to-make patreon, going lesson by lesson.
Absorbing every single thing she was teaching. She is the GOAT and I was stokkkked when she released educational courses all those years ago.
I wrote pages and pages of notes on all the things.. from camera settings, to workflow, to editing. I actually just found my notebook the other day and teared up flipping through it.
I was (and still am!!) so inspired by her craft since day 1. I thought of her like a mentor even though she had no clue who I was. She lit a fire inside me. Unlocked something in me.
Fast forward yearsss and some stars-aligning moments later, I got a message from Marina.
SHE wanted to hire ME to take her maternity photos. With a concept of my dreams. Little old me!!! I could not believe it. A surreal, pinch-me moment. The person I learned everything from. Hiring. Me.
All of the years figuring things out as I went. Learning through action. Continuing to push through uncertainty, imposter syndrome, doubt, overwhelm, happiness, achievements, more imposter syndrome. Never giving up. Lead me right here to this.
I’m not saying that I am a master or have everything figured out, but damn this one feels good. 🫶🏼
So eternally grateful!!!!
