I came across Sarah&#8217;s portfolio online and a light went on. Working with a professional model might help my portrait skills. I booked two photo shoots. I was nervous about working with a professional model so I booked two shoots in case the first shoot didn&#8217;t go as well as I expected.<br \/><br \/>Both shoots went well and I learned a lot. Sarah enjoyed working with me and she sent some models my way that she knew well. Those models sent more models my way and it grew from there.<\/p>\n<p>I knew I was making progress when a professional model in New York City found me online and sent me a message. She wrote, as best as I can recall,\u00a0 &#8220;You have a real gift for creating beautiful images of women. If you are ever in New York, let me know.&#8221;<br \/><br \/>And it all started with Sarah.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It all started with Sarah ten years ago.
