day with davina.

A couple of weeks ago Mikki came to visit here in South Carolina for a Day with Davina.  We had such a great time talking about all of the ways her life and business are intersecting and the road she would like to be on that will help her arrive at the place she dreamed of when she first started her business.

So often when I get to meet with photographers the thing they feel most is: overwhelmed.  They've gotten to a place where they are shooting to make it through to the next session.  They're giving their clients great work but their heart has gotten lost in the hurry of the whole process.  It's one of my favorite moments to get to sit with these photographers and look at their lives and their business and talk and discover ways to make it all have more meaning and more functionality.

I'm so excited about Mikki...her work, her business, her passion, her heart.  The photo shoots since she got back have been so much more full of emotion and depth.  I'm thrilled for her!  I've loved getting updates about how she's rediscovering herself, spending more time with her family, and streamlining her workflow.

Here's what Mikki said:

"It was an absolute dream for me to be able to come out and spend that time with you.  I keep thinking that I shouldn't have waited that long to do it.  But I feel so grateful for the things you were inspired to share with me.  Without knowing every detail about me or my background, you truly said the things that I needed to hear.  You've opened my mind and my heart and it feels incredible to finally be breathing again!

I had my first shoot since the workshop...in between their outfit change, I sat in their car and felt something I'd almost never felt while shooting.  For the first time, in a long time, I shot with purpose.  I was shooting with my heart, instead of just my head.  I totally got emotional and had chills everywhere.   It was special to spend that time with this little family, capturing moments of them playing T-ball, catching bugs, tickling each other, and then to see the young parents snuggling up to each other and so in love.  I felt like I was witnessing their unsaid secrets and I felt so special that they asked me to photograph that for them.  What a joy your style of photography is to people.  What a gift.  I was happy while shooting and still feel excited about so many shots that I got.  Thank you for helping me to see another way.  This is going to be such a beautiful experience and I hope I can continue to attract beautiful people with special stories to tell."
