As a photographer, I find that having the ability to put out quality work is never enough. We are all service providers, and our job is to ensure that our subjects or clients feel at ease during a photoshoot. In short, it is all about leaving an impression, making them feel great about themselves and having fun.

“What? I need 10,000 hours of practice before I can see a huge change or improvement in myself?” Honestly, I started photography and videography recently, maybe about five years to be exact, and I might not be close to having 10,000 hours worth of practice. But, it would make sense if we look at these practices from another perspective.

In today's world, change can happen at any time, and it is in our best interest to adapt to these changes if the opportunity arises. I knew I had to move away from music because I needed a fresh start after more than ten years of performing. I needed a bigger plan or a more significant cause to help businesses grow and connect with their target audience.

When sharing personal stories with a professional, letting go and being comfortable takes a while. If you do not find the right person to connect with you on a personal level, things will not work out after all. But how do we know if the coach or therapist is right for us? Their first impression counts.
