Sometimes I just need to stop a minute and think a bit deeper past the day to day work of being a Clearwater Beach Photographer. I need your help in spreading the good word about something amazing! Tonight, I was sitting by the beach long after my session was over. Reflecting on the past couple years. I got to thinking we’re all really pretty lucky… Extremely lucky. We get to take awesome vacations and in some cases live by Clearwater Beach… Which is one of the coolest places around. duhhhh. Not only that but we get to come together and create some incredible Clearwater Beach Photography together.
If you know me or have worked with me before, then you know I’m a really positive guy. I love being a Clearwater Beach Photographer, it shows in my personality, but more importantly the pictures I take. I’ve always approached everything I do as a Clearwater Beach Photographer with a great sense of humility and thankfulness. I truly believe that is the core secret to my success over the years. Without all of you I wouldn’t be one of your top choices at all when searching for Clearwater Beach Photographers.
I always keep things positive and happy in everything that I do. I love to laugh and joke during my sessions. I always keep the message on my website positive and upbeat. This is photography not brain surgery or rocket science. I’ve never wanted to do anything else with my life and thanks to all of you, I’ve never had to work a real job a day in my life. I get to spend my time making amazing Clearwater Beach Photography and I get to do it full-time. I’m super lucky!
I’ve always felt a great responsibility though. Because I recognized a long time ago that being a Clearwater Beach Photographer was about more than just creating amazing family portraits. It’s about sharing moments with complete strangers that turn into life long friends. It’s about making a moment in time happy. It’s about bringing people together. Sharing in a common love of what matters most.
Life is hard. We live in what is sometimes a not so nice world. Sometimes no matter what profession all of us are in, there’s always someone trying to tear others down. In our personal lives we loose people. Tragedies happen. Loved ones are lost to illness. Family dynamics change through life events such as divorce. I’ve seen it all. Photographed families from all walks of life from all over the world. Have laughed and cried with people that I’ve photographed year in and year out. I could go on for hours about stories of the glimpses into peoples lives I’ve experienced.
I’m lucky…
Guess what… You… Yes you… Touch other peoples lives everywhere you go, everyday. You’ve touched my life in more ways than you’ll ever know. In low times, it’s been being a witness to sharing in the concepts of love and family through my photography that has sometimes been the only thing that kept me going. That has lifted me up and reminded me that we are all more similar than we are different.
Thank you… Thank you… and let me say THANK YOU one more time…. By being fortunate enough to be a Clearwater Beach Photographer you have made my dreams come true. You have touched my life and impacted it in so many positive ways. Most of which you will never know. You have been a constant reminder to stay the course and focus on the things that really matter in life. You brought the shine into my life.
Thank you so much for letting me share in making memories for your family!
So I need your help… After you read this… Spend the next entire day telling yourself how lucky you are. Keep your head held high. Be kind to each other. Love people and use things. Not the reverse. Take a gander of the world around you and smile. Take a breath of air for free, take that breath really deep… Breath it out slow and relax and smile. Because we’re all pretty lucky!
All we are…. Is what we leave behind…
