Impossible is Nothing
I may be watching too much hockey, or it may have been a conversation I had with a neighbor today.I don't know. I have been thinking about the ups and downs of a person or a team. How just individuals or groups of people can honestly think you will not succeed. This happens all the time. I do it. You do it. Everyone does it. We all say: "They will be unsuccessful" at some point. It may be something small, or it may be something large. It happens. But what do you do when its about YOU? Do you take it to heart, or do you brush it off? Do you let it hurt you, or do you rise up and challenge it? It may be the competitor in me. It may be the passion that is driving my life. It may be both of those. I know I will fail and make mistakes, but in the end I make my own destiny. I will not point fingers. I will just learn and push further. The reason I will ultimately succeed or fail is myself. I know in NO way am I perfect or that I will ever be perfect. But understanding that will just give me an advantage. People's lack of belief in me, just pushes me to go harder, forces me to learn more, and get better. I am not a photographer, because its easy (it isn't). I am not a photographer, because I couldn't succeed at anything else (because I did). I am a photographer, because it is what I am meant to do. It is my passion. It is who I am.

A while back, I photographed Katy & Drew's engagement session at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. One of the backdrops we used was the St. John's Episcopal Church Ruins Well, that session led Chris to me even BEFORE he proposed to Callie!
Callie and Chris met in Hawaii (where Callie now lives), but they have spent much of their relationship apart since Chris was stationed in Georgia. Ever since the possibility of becoming engaged, Callie wanted to have the engagement shoot in front of church ruins. This lead to asking around, lots of google searching, the proposal, and finally the shoot!
