*BREAKING NEWS*
They looked at my work and said, āYep⦠weāll allow it.ā ššø
Iām officially PPOC Accredited in Maternity Photography.
Which is honestly incredible considering I still:
⢠Say ājust one more!ā at least 47 times every session.
⢠Hold my breath while photos load.
⢠Whisper āplease be in focusā after Iāve already pressed the shutter.
⢠Forget where I put my lens cap or walk away with other peopleās lens caps.
Turns out years of chasing golden hour, lying in questionable places for āthe shot,ā and owning an embarrassing number of camera bags actually paid off.
In all seriousness, this is one of the proudest moments of my career.
Thank you to every family who has trusted me to capture such an incredible season of your lives. Thank you to every mentor who challenged me, encouraged me, and helped me grow into the photographer I am today. And thank you to everyone who believed in meāeven on the days I wasnāt sure I believed in myself.
This accreditation means more than I can put into words.
Now, if youāll excuse me, Iām going to hang this certificate somewhere my imposter syndrome has to make eye contact with it every single day.
Officially accredited.
Emotionally? Still just a squirrel with a Nikon. šæļø š· š¤
