I’m a feedback junky

Well, I’m finally back from a wonderful vacation back home in Indiana! It was a great trip, and hopefully I’ll get around to blogging about it before next year’s trip ;) For now, I’ve got about 100 emails to go through and about 45,000 images to edit. No big deal, should be done by the end of the day… ha! Maybe not.

I just wanted to post and let you all know I’m alive and back to work. And, I just had to share this sweet message I got from Shoshanna‘s mom…

“I’ve been meaning to write for the last week but I knew you were on vacation…I hope it was relaxing and fun. The photos are beautiful! I find myself looking at them every day and I always see something I haven’t noticed before. We are all very happy with them. You really captured the spirit of the day.”

Totally made my day!

Ok, now back to the Inbox… :)

It’s all worth it!

Do you ever get so stressed over the mounds of work piling up on your desk? Do you ever feel like you’ll never get it all done? I do, all the time – especially this summer! My photography business is finally taking off here in Boston, and I’ve got lots of work (this is a GOOD thing). Plus, I’m still working part-time for Matt & Enna Grazier – so I’m pretty much up to my eyes in work these days.

With all of that going on, it’s been easy to get frustrated and feel like I’m not making my clients happy. I want to turn things around so much faster than I can right now! But, yesterday was a great day! Not because I got so much done (though I was fairly productive), but because I heard from 2 of my favorite couples!

Maria & Paul’s images were released on Pictage this week, and I got their slideshow finished and up online on Friday. Maria emailed me back with this…

Hi Krista, I have no words to describe how much I love the photos. You captured so many wonderful moments. I can not stop looking at them. Thank you so much for all your beautiful work! It will be so difficult choosing the photos for the book… :)

THEN, I was hanging out with my sister and the kids, and I got a text message from Mark & Courtney who’s wedding album was just completed and delivered this week…

Hey K. Got the wedding book, its frekkin amazing! U’r an artist of note! Tks so much Love M & C

Yay!! That’s what I live to hear! I LOVE being able to take photos that bring people that much joy! What could be better?? I love my job (busy and all :)!

That’s why I do this!

Back in January, my friends Sarah, Tom & Brian hired me to shoot some portraits of them for their parents as a Christmas gift. We had a great time taking pictures around Winchester, and at their home in Woburn. I was really excited with how the photos turned out, and so were they (which is the whole idea, right?)

So, the other night I saw their Mom, Lisa. She’s just as nice as can be! She wanted to thank me for the “beautiful photos” and just went on and on about how much she loves them! She even started crying a little bit when she was talking about her favorites. Now, it’s not my goal in life to make people cry, but seriously – that’s why I do what I do! I LOVE that she connected with the photos. That she could look at these photos and see her children – not just what their faces look like, but who they are and what their relationships are like. THAT is what this is all about! Capturing people – the essence of who they are and how they feel about one another.

I love my job!
