My Motivation

What a chilly cold sunny day today. I usually check my email first thing in the morning and a few more times during the day. Today was a good day. I heard back from one of my latest clients Djhoanna and Richard. They told me how much they loved the pictures I did on their wedding day at the Four Seasons in San Francisco. They even shared it with their friends and family.

Here is the email that Djhoanna sent me:

DJ,

These photos are so beautiful! Your photographer should be commended.

We had such a wonderful time and were so happy to share the joy of your wedding day. Thanks so much for including us!

People ask me what keeps me going in this industry... Well, here it is. The appreciation that I get from my clients. I love to work with clients that appreciate what I do for them. No matter if it is a wedding or simply a children shoot, it is extremely rewarding to be a part of their lives. I think of myself as a journalist. I document their lives for them. In return, I get their smiles and their appreciation of the art.

I love what I do and I am so blessed to be able to do this.
