a friend made the comment that "true creatives in a world of 'creatives' are rare." 
I tend to think that that statement is true.
there are a few people that I've had the privilege to meet that I recognized that what I saw that they produced,
genuinely resonated from a personal God-given creative place from within.
I think a person can fake it pretty well online or on heresay...
forming your creative opinion of them before you even meet.
but to meet a true creative person in real life?  you can't hide it.  it's who you are.  
and those "true creatives" that I have the privilege to meet absolutely. fascinate. me.
enter this girl.  she's the real deal. :)
she's modern, athletic, fashion-savvy, super smart...and wicked creative.
when she first inquired about a session with me, I have to admit I got a little happy nervous.
partially because I knew she was genuinely cool and partially because she's a photographer as well.
every. time. I photograph another photographer there's an added sense of pressure.
why?
because other photographers frame life the same way you do...know gear the same way you do.
check out your creativity the same way you do.
it's not a bad thing...
just an added sense of pressure knowing you want to "photograph them the way you would want to be photographed."
self-inflicted pressure...but pressure none-the-less. :)
but I'm so thankful to have gotten to photograph these two.
thankful to have gotten to know them better from behind my camera...
AND thankful to be able to grab a dc/coffee with a new creative friend who also happens frame life the way I do. :)
