Interviewed by Janey of FindMimi

I got lost. Dang one way streets. And I was 20 minutes late. If I was her, I probably would have left. Or at least showed some signs of  irritation. But she didn’t. She smiled warmly when I walked in the door and gave me a huge hug, even though it was the first time we’d met face to face. That’s when I knew we were going to get along juuuust great.

Janey Jessen of FindMimi emailed me several months ago, asking if she could interview me about my business and my photography. I reread her email a second time, a little confused as to why anyone would want to interview me. But she had me when she mentioned meeting at a quaint little tea and coffee shop… Well, that, and also because I love making connections and meeting other photographers : ) So we met on a chilly afternoon for chai’s and conversation, and I’m so glad we did! I had a wonderful time getting to know her, not to mention blabbing my mouth off as she fired questions at me. I’ve never talked about myself for that long in one period of time. It was quite fun. Haha. I kid. But really, her questions made me think. They made me evaluate what I’m doing, where I’m at, and where I want to be. For that, I’m grateful.

When we had finished our chai’s and I was done talking her ear off, we stepped outside and she asked if she could snap a few photos of me. I tried to look all seductive, I tried to stare into the camera with my soul… I ended up laughing in basically every picture. Yeah, I’ve never been good at the whole seductive thing anyway. Janey, on the other hand, can rock it out like no one’s business! I wasn’t going to let her go without snapping a few photos of her as well, and I’ll be honest. My camera loved her.

Isn’t she a beauty?? Janey, thank you so much for taking the initiative to contact me, for listening to me ramble, and for making me feel so at ease. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you, and WPPI wouldn’t have been the same without you : ) I can’t wait to see all that the future has in store you and your business! You’re a gem, don’t ever change.
