Celebrate {San Antonio Photographer}

I saw her in the hallway and she quietly whispered a reminder that she wanted to do a photoshoot with her family.  I anxiously obliged, she is my friend.  Then, the thought occurred to me, “Wait, why are we waiting, why are we not taking images now, she graduates with her doctoral degree tomorrow!”.  I quickly retracked my paces and chased her down and whispered back, lets capture some images tomorrow for your big day and this new journey in your life.  So modestly she said, “Do you think? Are you sure?  We can just do it later, its okay, Hummm”.  I swear she is one of the most genuine and sweetest people I know.

I am telling you I soooooooo (yes I need that many o’s) believe in photographs, not only because  I love the “click, click” of my shutter, but because it captures those moments and emotions that are easily forgotten.  On this day of my bribery and coercion, I realized one thing.  I realized that sometimes we fail to celebrate ourselves but are always eager to celebrate others.  Hardwork, dedication, perserverance, that is what made us who we are and where we are, so we should cherish those moments (big and small) in our life, those moments of joy that burn within our souls, but gone tomorrow.  I am so glad that my friend  “Dr. Olga” let me celebrate with her on that following Saturday morning.  On this morning she celebrated being a scholar, being a doctor, being a mommy, a sister….etc…etc….  That was my wish for her.

Congratulations, Olga!  Go celebrate some more girlie, you deserve it!

PS… we did eventually also have a family photoshoot session which I will post soon
