sometimes as a photographer, I think I feel too much... give too much, am too much..

I read post from other photographers about how they can deliver a wedding or gallery in a week... two weeks... the day/night of.

I compare myself to others editing styles wishing to edit different, more artistic, more clean... trying to keep up with current trends and styles, and lets not even talk about social media platforms, strategies & hashtags...

Sometimes I wish I didn't care as much. I wish I could deliver less, shoot less, but it's not who I am.

it's not who my clients are hiring.

They are hiring me. Not the other photographers who may have peeks up in 24 hours, or an entire gallery delivered in a week.

They are hiring the girl behind the screen who feels when she edits, and even more when she shoots. The photographer who is crying *actual* tears right now, reliving a couples vows they exchanged with a line that started, "20 years ago, a little boy and a little girl walked down the sidewalk together on their first day of kindergarten, knowing each-other had cooties, but not knowing that would be the first of many walks together, that would someday lead down an aisle. That day is today."

So, while I may be terrible at selling myself, being consistent on keeping up with my social media game, when you hire me, you're hiring a real person who will capture these moments like they are my own, and cry reliving them with you as i prepare your gallery - that may take me longer to get back to you than the next photographer. But that's because in between the moments of capturing and crafting yours, I am also living out mine.

And living out mine, is what fuels me to capture yours in ways you'll be able to feel.

So,
thank you from this teary eyed photographer.
As I am delicately working to deliver your images as a fine tuned craft, not just another check list.
Who, took a few minutes to write something to align with the puddles of tears as I'm editing one of many galleries that are nearing their due date.

I appreciate you, and there is nothing I'd rather do than doing what I love, and creating a life so that others can remember theirs.

xo,
dayna mae
