I read a lot of personal development and business books. I set goals each year with the amount of books I will read (for 2016 it’s 25). One of the books last year was “Start with Why” by Simon Sinek. In that book, he detailed that people are more connected with why you do what you do, not what you do! That’s powerful. The book really makes you dig deep into WHY you do something. WHY do I do this job?
If you read in my blog, you can see how passionate I am about boudoir photography – it’s the highlight of my life – and I love giving this experience to women. But, to get to the heart of it, I have to go through my WHY…and I thought I’d share this with you. Essentially, after every thought ask yourself WHY until you get to the root of it all. Here was my WHY discussion (this is the MUCH shorter version – I’ll spare you):
I love boudoir.
WHY
I love working with women.
WHY
Every woman deserves to feel beautiful.
WHY
Women should be uplifted and feel good about who they are.
WHY
Because I never felt good about myself and I want women to feel what I never felt.
Mic dropped. Yup, that’s the root of it. Growing up, even into young adulthood, I never felt good about myself. That’s not from a lack of family and friends telling me how wonderful I am but because I was never able to see myself for who I really was, and accept that amazing woman. I was always trying to figure myself out and change who I was (and how I looked) to conform to what I thought other people wanted.
And, it’s really important to me that the women that step in front of my camera feel amazing about themselves. I want them to have all those warm feelings about who they are – all those feelings I never had!
Watching the session unfold as I stand behind the camera is so extremely powerful for me. I love working with all these amazing women. I want to bring out that love for themselves! While some clients come to me already loving who they are, those women are ones that continue to inspire me! There is so much positivity and empowerment that comes out of these sessions – for both me and my clients!
I LOVE MY JOB!!
