Another mentoring session and another incredible gift of fabulous people coming into my life. Jared, an incredible photographer in his own right, contacted me about my mentoring sessions and the next thing I knew I was on a plane to Dallas and we were talking, shooting, hanging out… I feel so absolutely blessed to have met Jared and his wife. They are some of the kindest, sweetest, most generous people I have met and I just feel so fortunate to have gotten the chance to become friends…
While I was there we did a typical session (for the mentoring part, I’ll share from that soon!) and we also did a little shoot of Jared & his lovely wife, Jessica (and can’t forget darling little Lucy!!)…

Chris Smith: I am a photographer friend of Jared's. I know about you because I talk with him regularly about photography and his new business. He raved about you and I know you were a very positive influence on his new career. Its good to see people sharing ideas and their creative processes with new photographers. The shots of him and Jessica are great and I know they appreciated it very, very much. Nice work. Chris (08.18.2008 01:00pm)
