A few days ago I decided to email one of my photography idols, Jasmine Star. She is an incredible photographer based out of California. Seriously she has no idea how much her photography has changed my own. Her photos are unlike anything I have ever seen and will make your jaw drop. Well after I sent it I checked my email every two hours to see if by any small chance she responded.Right before going to bed one night I checked my email one last time and there it was! A response from Jasmine Star! I couldn't believe it! Thanks Jasmine for being such a role model for my business! Check out her website www.jasminestarphotography.com
Here is my letter:
Jasmine,
I must first start off by saying what an incredible photographer you are. I stumbled upon your website after religiously checking on David Jays blog. I saw the pictures that you took of him and his girlfriend and my jaw dropped.
I am a photographer in Atlanta, GA. I'm still not exactly where I want to be with my business but I am well on my way. I just had to tell you what an inspiration you are to me and the way I choose to approach my photography. For years I have drooled over David Jays photographs. He has no idea but he has shaped me into the photographer that I am today. He showed me that wedding photography can been the most fulfilling and creative job there is. I owe my thanks to him. Then you came along and now I am in love with your photographs. Every night I sit at home with my husband and I look at your blog and he hears me "Ewwing and Ahhing" over every picture!
So I just wanted to say that your photography has now changed me yet again. I am so excited for my next wedding and I will continue to look at your Blog religiously.
Sincerest thanks,
Lindsey Turner
And her response:
Hi Lindsey!
Thank you SO much for emailing me! It's literally impossible for me
to respond to every email I get, but I just had to drop a line and
thank you for making my day. I feel so honored to have people read
my blog, but I'm more honored to do what I love. I feel so blessed.
I, too, am excited for your next wedding because I know you're going
to knock it out of the ballpark! :)
Thanks again!
Warmly,
Jasmine*
