TBT: My First Photo Shoot

I can't believe that this shoot was almost five years ago! Looking through these photos has been a great reminder to me for a couple reasons. First, you should always, always, always push yourself to do what you want to do. It took some motivating from lots of friends to convince me to do this shoot, but in the end, I had to make it happen - I had to organize, gather props, set up hair, and find the location. It took a lot of work, and while it didn't just land in my lap - I did have a lot of resources and friends around me who were eager to help. I think that's the case for most people - friends and family want to see you succeed, and they will do what they can to help you get there - so don't be afraid to ask! Second, it's amazing to see how far you've come in such a short period of time like five years. While we can often get stuck in having things not happen right away or easily (a year or even a month can seem like a really long time!) its a good reminder to be patient. Because things will change - and when you look back, the time it took to get there seems short and insignificant.
