Words fail me so often when I try to think of something meaningful to write to accompany my posts, as the experience of sharing time and being given the opportunity to capture memories for someone else, of any nature, is such a true privilege and one I cherish from each and every session. While thinking of the gratitude I felt towards Sarah, firstly for choosing me to capture her beautiful family and secondly for taking time away from her family holiday, to capture mine; I thought as I often have lately that I never would have dreamed of my life taking such a dramatic turn, a direction that has brought so much meaning to my life and what I do, a place where I feel I belong. I may be a single drop in an ocean full of talented people, but if I can make just one person happy doing what I do, than I too can be happy. I’ve never been one for words, both written or in person (when I don’t know the people around me) and now I feel I’ve found a way to communicate honestly. The person I am, the things I believe in and the amazing people I share this with.
“What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life – to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.” ~ George Eliot
