✨️17 years in the making… and really, a lifetime before that. 📷🤍
I absolutely love what I do.
Long before Shalom Photography became my career, I was just a little girl who loved photography, never imagining that one day I would be blessed enough to call it my profession.
Seventeen years later, I am still here.
Still learning. Still creating. Still working incredibly hard.
Still putting a piece of my heart into every story I photograph.
But there are days when I feel like giving up...
Because sometimes people see photography as “just a click.”
Something easy.
Something that should be cheap.
But what you see is only a fraction of what happens behind the scenes.
You don’t see the years of experience.
The equipment.
The planning.
The travelling.
The communication.
The long hours selecting and carefully editing every image.
The late nights behind a computer.
The pressure of knowing that some moments happen only once ...😵 and that I have been trusted to preserve them forever.
Yes, unfortunately there are scammers and dishonest people in this world, in every industry.
But please don’t let that make you judge those who are truthful,
humble,
hardworking
and genuinely
doing their very best for their clients.
When you choose a photographer,
you are not simply paying someone to press a button.
You are trusting someone with a piece of your life.
A wedding day.
A newborn baby who will never be that tiny again.
Your children before they grow another year older.
Your parents and grandparents while you can still hold them close.
Your family, exactly as you are in this season of life.
And years from now, those photographs may mean far more to you than they did on the day they were taken.
That is why I keep going.
Because after all these years, I still believe photographs matter.
Memories matter.
People matter.
And I am incredibly grateful that this little girl’s love for photography became Shalom Photography. 🤍📷
17 years of capturing moments.
A lifetime of loving what I do.
