"Kindness, when given away, keeps coming back." --Suzanne Woods Fisher
I just had the most crystal-clear confirmation of this truth and the best reminder to keep giving it away. When I started my portrait business, I decided to "gift" one session per month to someone who needed it, either because they couldn't afford it or just needed a boost or bit of encouragement because of what they're going through. I posted some photos from my first "gifted" session on Instagram and, within a day, booked a session with a woman who had seen one of the photos and loved it. I am overwhelmed with gratitude.
@pistache Thank you, Clare! It was the most immediate confirmation of "doing the right thing" that I've ever experienced. I know she will love her photos, but I had so much fun that I feel like I'm the one given the gift!
