Anticipating someone wonderful… | Maternity Photographer | Sandi Bradshaw |
T – You are beautiful inside and out…and I’m so looking forward to meeting your littlest blessing in a few short weeks!
Since my last post I have received so many incredibly thoughtful emails and phone calls…it’s been humbling to say the least. I am amazed at the wonderful community of photographers that I am blessed to be a part of…and how easily we can connect with and relate to one another in the midst of all the different seasons that we go through both personally and professionally as artists. Many of you emailed me privately to share your own struggles and I am so grateful for your wide open hearts and your desire to never be satisfied with the status quo of this industry. I’m so excited for the changes that are on the horizon for my business (artistic changes, business changes, and personal changes)…I’m excited to grow…to never stop learning…ever…and to continue to fight my way out of every creative rut that threatens to suck my joy out of the BEST job in the entire world! I sincerely hope the same for you all. As photographers…we have such an amazing opportunity to express our hearts and our perspectives through our work on a daily basis…that is a GIFT. We have the ability to create…to envision…to make the mundane things of this world beautiful…and to capture moments in time from our own unique perspectives…a GIFT indeed. So…today…I am thankful for all of you who shared your hearts with me…for all of you who offered encouragement as I’m clawing my way out of my creative funk…and for the many offers from local photographers and artists to buy me lunch! Goodness you are a sweet bunch of people! If I took you all up on it I’d have to spend the rest of my life chained to the elliptical machine! If I haven’t responded personally to your email just yet…bear with me. I’m working on it! And…if you offered to take me to lunch…you’ve got a date! For real. I love food. Especially guacamole.
‘Til Next Time!

Emily Dobson wrote: Beautiful pictures, but happier to read and hear that you've been encouraged. You are truly an inspiration to me. P.S. I'll totally take you out to lunch... just fly in to Kansas City, drive about 2 1/2 hours east, and you'll run in to a little town called Macon. This is where you can enjoy the delicious flavors of McDonald's, Taco Bell, and KFC. I look forward to your visit. ;) (01/25/10, 6:11 pm)

I may need so fried ice cream to kick off the new 2010 year! Guaranteed to make you feel creative! :) (01/29/10, 11:52 am)

Don't get me wrong - I love to see the beautiful bellies of pregnant Mamas, but in my opinion, it is much harder to get great maternity images with all their clothes on. You executed these perfectly...just beautiful! Cyndee > (01/30/10, 5:16 pm)
