June 17, 2016 / Couple's Session Engagement Session
Dennis and April Engagement Session.
After I posted a few photos of Dennis and April’s engagement session, Dennis sent me a message and thanked me for shooting their engagement session.
“We are so blessed to have you as our photographer.”
I stared long and hard at these words. I zeroed in the word — blessed. I’ve been really busy lately. I hustle in between shoots and personal projects. I try to accomplish many tasks in a day and play the many roles I need to fulfill. I, breath by breath, have been trying my very best to meet deadlines and to be physically, mentally and emotionally present in everything that I do. Be it work related or for my personal growth. I pushed myself too much and I have disregarded my yin and my yang.
So when I was told that I was a blessing, I had to pause. Quite frankly, I felt a little bit emotional. Because it is not always that someone take time to shoot me a message and tell me that I am a blessing to their love story. I need affirmation sometimes. Don’t we all? Because I think, if I just keep on going without really feeling, appreciating and understanding what I am doing, even if I have been doing what I am doing for five years now, I’d be so lost. I’ll lose my heart and I think that won’t make me effective anymore.
And yes, I am blessed to meet random people who remind me in some ways that I am a blessing and I should feel blessed and grateful for what I have and for what I do and for what I still have to accomplish.
Be grateful!
