It has been an amazing, heartfelt, wonderful, and transforming year here at JH Capturing Creations Photography. At least 319 beautiful smiles passed in front of my lens this year (can't include all my family members or wedding guests from wedding shoots, but at least I've included the brides and grooms!). It started last January with a family session in Austin and ended right here in Houston with a newborn session. I can't tell you as I look back of the list of clients, now friends, how I feel so blessed by this experience. Every man, woman and child prayed for; each session in my prayers. Families, graduates, brides and grooms, newborn babies, and parties were all frozen in time by the wonderful tool God has placed in my hand. Such a wonderful gift to share!
What has come out of JHCC in return (besides the awesome images, that is)? I've been given the opportunities to: sponsor Darin-a 13 year old girl from Africa through Compassion International, give a sizable amount of funding to charities and churches, give away sessions and time to otherwise-can't-afford-it friends and family, freely hold tutoring sessions to up and coming photographers, freely mentor some understudies, pray for the lives of my clients and fellow photographers, and most of all, give all the glory and thanks for my work to my Inspiration, God.
I've been running hard for this business to first become a reality, for my images to have significant meaning to the families, and for the work to be beautiful. I have been blessed with more knowledge and experience of my craft this year, but God is not through with me! As I head into 2013, I am living in this moment, ever sharpening my intuition for this art, and also holding a keen eye towards what God's plans are for my future. I am running for an ultimate goal that I can't reveal just yet, but in time I know if you love me, you'll know I was made especially for it.
Thank you for the kind words you've spoken to me this year, for the way you interact with the Facebook page, and for the ways you've supported me. I cherish deeply every person whose hand has been in this and if you're reading this at all, chances are that it's you. Don't oust yourself; without you, I wouldn't have support.
Accomplishments-well apart from making people cry out of joy at their gallery views, the U.S. Commerce Association also thinks I'm fabulous. I received the Best of 2012 Tomball award in the Professional Photographers category. Nice! My plaques are up on my studio wall:
Well, that's it for 2012. Enjoy this collage of *most of my clients. I may not have been able to put everyone on here from mini-sessions, but if you had a full-blown session with me, then you should be there somewhere! Thank you so much for the opportunity to take your picture <3 p="p">
It's easy to think I only take this many pictures, but maybe multiply each of these by about 250, then add another 5000 or so for personal events and you've got my life. It's been amazing so far!! Come on, 2013!! :)
