Or in English the word is
LOVE......
Whether you use this word as a noun or a verb it can and does mean many different things to different people. Having worked in the wedding industry for several years I have had the pleasure of experiencing so many emotion filled moments with many, many clients. Every time I shoot an Engagement session or a Wedding or Maternity or Newborn portraits I get to witness multiple levels of this seemingly intangible yet omnipotent feeling, this feeling we all call Love. Sometimes I think that I don't allow myself to express my feelings in everyday life properly. I only say this because I find myself so consumed when I'm shooting and often find myself tearing up or near tears. This usually happens when I hear an incredibly heartfelt toast or when I see the way a father holds his new baby as his eyes become misty while gazing at the miracle that he is holding it completely touches my heart strings. I feel that same suffocating pressure of emotion when I see the strong and gripping hugs from a father to his daughter as his dance with her ends and the realization that there will be another man in her life that becomes her center. The list could go on and on and on....but rather than put everyone into a coma while trying to decifer my ramblings I will get to my point and yes I do have one =)
I just want to express how incredibly fortunate I have been in my life to have been a part of so many special and poignant moments in your lives. I have the best clients in the world! I want to thank all of you for allowing me to be a part of these moments and also for referring people like you who value photography as much as I do. SO Happy Valentines Day to all you Lovahs out there!!!!!
