More then just photography...

Why do I do photography? The question has many answers. I have a love of photography from the forming ideas to the final product. Being able to unleash my visions and creativity and see it come out through my camera. Photography isnt just a business to me, it isnt another way to make money, and you aren't just another client to me.
My photography is more then a business, it's more like a therapy for me. Where I can step out of my everday to do list and let my mind go. It's given me a release from my lupus and something to focus on other then being tired and sore. It's given me memories and bonding moments with my children that are captured forever. I'm even amazed by the stories that every client shares and the different walks of life they all come from. So many clients I've even built friendships with or at least keep in touch with. I've had woman come feeling self concious but leave with a different attitude and bubbling with how much fun they had. It's those moments and the smile on a clients face that make me love what I do and it has nothing to do with making another dollar. I feel everyone deserves to have those experiences and a break from every day life; which is why I often have specials, donate, contests, give aways, and so on.
So for me photography is more then just a business, its my passion, a gift, a gift to others.
