Coleen & Family

When I 1st moved to GA – one of the things I really wanted to do, was to network with other photographers. Back in NC this was huge for me. I was a brand new photographer back in 2007 – had just moved to a new town in NC… and knew nothing about the business. I was so blessed to get connected with a wonderful group of photographers in a neighboring town – and to this day I am still very close to a number of them. It opened my eyes to a lot about photography, but also the importance on becoming close with other photographers.

The sad thing is – so many photographers don’t do this… they simply view the “other photographer” – as competition and often times rarely blink an eye at them.

There will come a day when you are sick or have a family emergency and are left up a creek with a session in line or even a wedding. Having people you trust with their talent but also as individuals – is so important in this industry.

I am thankful for Coleen – and being able to become friends with her.

Shes an amazing talent and so so sweet too.

So to be able to shoot her family portraits was so fun – although even though Ive been doing this for years now – I still get so nervous photographing other photographers :-D – even if it doesnt seem that way.

Enjoy Coleen! Your family is so fun. I loved being your photographer for the evening :)

great photos as always! How true about photographers.. I try to keep in touch with a few and love others talents.. It is amazing how a few of them don’t even respond to you or nice words I say about their work. Amazing…

Hope you are well.

God Bless,
Shay
