Who's got your back?

Ever since the creation of my photography website I've been getting a lot more phone calls asking for my services. I'm sure as many self-employed professionals would suggest, a website creates a since of professionalism. I always feel so honored when someone asks me to take pictures of them (or refers me to take pictures for someone else) the support I've received from so many of my dearest family and friends, and a few strangers is just...so touching to me. It means so much to me that people appreciate what I love to do and actually enjoy my work. I know years from now - even if photography doesn't work out for me - I can look back on this experience and remember how enjoyable this was for me and how it has helped me grow and learn as an artist AND as a human being.

Today my best friend called me on his lunch break and we talked for a little while then I told him about a phone call I got earlier in the day from someone asking if I would take pictures for them at an upcoming event. His voice changed a little as he responded and I could tell he was smiling :) loL..."Nina, I am so happy for you! You really are doing your thing....and who's got your back?" I just laughed and said YOU...and the rest of my loving family and friends.

This post is for YOU! All of you who have supported me for the past year. If you advised me, promoted me, financially supported me, congratulated or complimented me, was photographed by me, anything...
I THANK YOU
