This week I began getting those pesky little notifications from Google that I should really clear out some of the one million screenshots, random snapshots, and memes that were hanging out in my google photos before I ran out of storage. First of all... ugh. Why won't Google just let me live my life and store my memes? Rude.
Then I came across this photo and forgot all about my meme deletion aggravation. That's not just ANY girl there in that photo. That's my sweet Haley! This photo was from her very first session with me when I was still trying to get my feet underneath me as a boudoir photographer in a tiny bedroom of my 2-bedroom duplex in Chandler. That was 4 years ago now and my goodness what a journey we have been on together in that time! We have laughed together, cried together, danced together, and dreamed together during those years. I was never "just her photographer".
It has been said to me more than once "I know your work is the best, but I can't see spending that on pictures" Friend...that's not what you are spending your dollars on at all. This is a LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE. We are not the photography team that is here to take some beautiful pictures and leave. We build a relationship with our clients and continue to encourage them on their journey to a more confident self. We continue to provide resources and support personally, as well as through our large community of AMAZING women that the universe has blessed us with along the way. The images you receive are just a PART of what makes boudoir so amazing. The real change comes with the EXPERIENCE.
That girl you see in that picture may have started out as our client, but she ended up a precious friend. She calls me when the good things happen, when the bad things happen and everything in between. She has blossomed into a beautiful woman with so many amazing things going on in her life and she has allowed us to be a part of all of life's biggest moments with her and we are so grateful. I am so blessed to be a part of her journey to confidence. That, friend, is priceless.
