A few years ago I got this sweet e-mail that came in from Andrea. She told me how much she loved my pictures and wanted to have some family pictures taken. I set up the session. I drove there, took their pictures and when I was leaving, Andrea handed me a gift. She had given me a Precious Moment figurine which she knew from my 101 goal list that I collected them. When I opened the card it read..
Mandy,
Thank you providing me the inspiration to pursue photography professionally!
Andrea
(yes I have kept card all this time, it's always on my desk!)
I was really touched and more surprised at myself for giving her the inspiration. I had no idea my work could help someone like that. It made me want to work harder on my images, and be more creative. It was an awesome feeling.
I started thinking about when I had started and remembered when I gave the official, let's get started! It would have been nice to have had someone to look up to then. I didn't know a single photographer, I knew absolutely nothing about it, the business or honestly my camera. It sure was scary.
It's nice to know Andrea these last few years and she's been my assistant on my weddings. We've worked enough together that she can already get a lens out for me before I even have to ask for it.
Thank you Andrea for being such a wonderful assistant to me. You have grown so much in the last two years so I hope your work can inspire someone as well to start their business!
Sweet little Cassia!
