There are so many talented photographers in my area whose work is widely admired. Where I feel I stand apart, however, is with my ability to connect with clients and make them feel truly seen. I'm proud to say I've made long-lasting connections with past clients, to the point where it feels wrong to refer to them as just "clients". I possess a strong sense of empathy that can sometimes feel like a curse, but also gives me a major artistic advantage when working with people. You are never just business to me, you are a friend.
