Warning: I might use the word “amazing” a lot in this post.

I met Katie about 5 years ago when I was just starting out in my photography business and did a session with her family.  As you know, time really flies in my life so when her mom called me to do her senior portraits…I was a bit stunned.  How can Katie be a senior already?  NO WAY.

As I was preparing for Katie’s shoot, I was feeling nervous (which isn’t out of the ordinary) but a little more than usual.  In this line of work, it’s easy to feel stuck and stale.   There are millions of talented photographers out there and I wasn’t feeling like I was one of them.  So I did something I should do more often.  I prayed.  I prayed that I would be inspired at this shoot.  I prayed that I would see things differently.  That I would shoot out of my comfort zone.  I was on cloud 9 with Katie.  We had a FANTASTIC time together and I WAS so inspired.  Katie is simply AMAZING!   A beautiful person on the outside (obviously) but 100 million more times beautiful and AMAZING on the inside. I drove home with the goosebumps.  Excited about this AWESOME girl I just got to spend the afternoon with and honored with being the one chosen to capture her in this very special time of her life.
