Thank You

As my business has progressed over the years, i've watched it evolve and move people with emotion. Which is exactly what it should do as the craft of storytelling gets better and better. I still love to hear clients voice it in their own words. I recently booked a wedding with a Marketing Professor at WKU. In her first correspondence with me, here is what she had to say:

"When some of your pictures of people I don't even know brought tears to my eyes I thought I'd better contact you about my own wedding!"

Thank you Joanna, I know that is sincere.

I shared with her a funny revelation that hit me on the way to our first face to face meeting. After I parked at Western and made my way toward her office, intertwined with the latest crop of WKU students, it hit me; "Wow, i'm about to show my presentation to a Professor of Marketing on her home turf. This is where she judges presentations for a living!" And I knew there was a pass/fail outcome associated with this single meeting. I hope she gives her students the benefit of the entire semester.

I'm going to assume that it was the power of the images and not my presentation that is the reason I will be documenting her wedding day celebration. We both got a nice little laugh out of it though, and I look forward to presenting her own wedding images to her.
