Hello everyone,
Welcome to my blog. I would like to start by explaining my dream- I want to share my photography with the world! It’s never been about the money, only the memories I preserve and the lives I touch.
Today I found happiness in that— I went to Orange Park to deliver a CD and some prints to a Model— Niki H.— She came to me a few months ago (found me through Craigslist) and decided to do a model shoot with me. We had a blast! Of course we lost track of time and ended up shooting for like 2 hours. She viewed her final pictures and immediatley added them to her portfolio. Taking my advice she created a modelmayhem page and proudly displayed her shots there as well. Soon after we had another shoot- this time we went with another theme (some are posted below). Again viewing her shots she ordered prints, and told me of some other photogs she worked with (and Hated!). Great news for me- I love hearing my clients saying how much they enjoyed themselves or loved their pictures. Layed back, fun, relaxing, amazing- all descriptions I’ve heard.
Today upon delivering her prints, she very excitedly told me how Sports Illustrated found her on modelmayhem- LOVED her swimsuit shots and invited her to shoot with them in June!
CONGRATS Niki! I was so excited to hear that, to know I had a part in it. Of course I made her promise to remember me when she made it big, lol. She said she would include me in her commentary “my first and favorite photographer Vanessa”… I cant guarentee the same professional results (S.I. searching you out), but I can give you the same time and energy in your shoot- Who knows, maybe one day you will be in her shoes.
She did schedule another shoot with me – This time for a couple fashion shoot…. Keep your eyes peeled for those images soon.
Thanks for reading and keep on dreaming!
Thanks Niki, for sharing your dream with me… CONGRATS!
