Appreciation

After several friends encouraged me to do so, I'm finally sharing this very kind Instagram post from my dear friend and talented model Erika. I try to always be as helpful and supportive as possible to the women I work with, most of whom become my close friends. I advise them through money issues, moments of losing faith in themselves and society, sickness and distress, fights with their significant others, and so much more. Maybe people think I live a charmed life taking photos of beautiful women, but it's definitely a lot more difficult than you can imagine. Still, I'm so honored to be trusted with these lady's intimate secrets, to have been let into their homes and families, and I am thankful every day for how much the good outweighs the bad in my life.

(Oh, and Erika also gives me free haircuts. So there's another benefit of our relationship, haha.)
