The Biggest Compliment

I've been fortunate enough to have seen my work displayed in some pretty cool places. I have a few images hanging in a doctor's office, a few in shows, several have been used in ads for this or that and I even photographed a magazine cover once. But I received the highest honor this week when I opened an e-mail from a client.

Krista, who's home on maternity leave after bringing baby Nicholas home before Christmas, e-mailed me a nice note along with some photos of her recent project. She has lovingly framed some of her proofs from our January session, and before dispersing them throughout her home, snapped some quick photos so I could see their noble purpose.

Seeing my work in such a place of honor, my clients home, was really nice. Often times I dream about sessions - hoping that people are enjoying their portraits as much as I enjoyed making them. So in that sense, Krista's e-mail was like a little dream come true.
