I’ve known Robin for at least 4, maybe even five or six years now. He was one of the first people to believe in me and my work and I will be forever honored that he not only let me do his headshots, but that I got them published with him in his first book, The Code of Trust. (Available on Amazon) The fun thing is that it was a lucky shot. This was before I really knew what I was doing and shot everything on instinct alone. It’s still a great shot in my opinion. But it was one of maybe three great shots in an album of 40+ photos.

Not only was I honored that Robin gave me the extra credibility of being a published photographer so early in my career, but I was so honored that he came back for more! We’ve been talking about doing a second headshot session for almost a year now and we finally arranged our busy, entrepreneur schedules to make it work! And this time. Boy, oh, boy! Three years, a photography minor, and a lot of hard work really showed. Instead of two good photos in an album of 40, it was, instead, a struggle to choose the best of the best, cream of the crop photos!

I love having shoots to compare to see how I’ve grown and although usually those shoots are children and families, this one was a really unique and inspiring shoot for me. When I first started as a hobby, I never intended to keep going more than a year or two. Somehow, however, a hobby turned into a love and passion that I will never give up.

So this is to the young entrepreneur. Artist, chef, florist, investor, musician- You can do this. Find the people that believe in you and trust you. Learn through your failures and never – absolutely never- give up. If this is your dream you have it for a reason. Find your why and never lose sight of why you love what you do.
