My little sister
I have watched her work grow and progress and it is been very exciting to see her own personal style of photography emerge. I have been awed and impressed by the beauty and range of her work! I watched from the distance as she took one beautiful portrait after another and began to wonder how I would look through her eyes? I have always been more comfortable behind the lens of my own camera than in front of someone else's so I was too shy to ask her for a portrait session. I was thrilled when she insisted that she photograph me to create portrait for my new website. We choose a beautiful location, picked out a few nice outfits and I hoped for the best. All I needed were a few decent images for my website. No big deal, right?
As we started the session I felt very self conscious and timid. Did my hair look alright? Did my outfit make me look okay? Why did I wear high heels? A million critical thoughts raced through my head. With Kaysha's gentle reassurances I began to forget about my own superficial concerns. With each frame she cooed "You look beautiful; the light makes your skin look amazing" and so on. Her sweet compliments reassured me and as the session progressed so did my confidence. I felt more beautiful that afternoon that I had in a long time!
Kaysha has a talent that few photographers' posses, not only can she create stunning imagery but she has the ability to show the person she is photographing their own unique beauty! When you step in front of her lens you start to see yourself in a new light. And it is a beautiful light...where your best features are accentuated and your flaws become invisible. You start to see yourself as Kaysha does and you realize how uniquely beautiful you truly are!
The images that she took of me are stunning and are the best pictures I have ever had taken of myself!
Kaysha-You are an artist in every sense of the word. Your talent shines through each of your images and I can't wait to step in front of your lens again soon!

Possibilities
We each believe that certain things are possible for ourselves and our lives, while firmly believing that others are completely impossible! But what happens when the impossible becomes possible?
