The impact of who is in your corner…
Having a strong support system can have a huge impact on personal growth and self-discovery. Your support network serves as a safe space where you can share your feelings and vulnerabilities without fear of judgment, helping you navigate challenges and develop resilience.

The supportive ones offer encouragement and motivation, inspiring you to step out of your comfort zone and take risks that lead to personal growth. Surrounding yourself with different perspectives expands your understanding of the world, sparking new ideas & encouraging personal development.
Your support system should always hold you accountable for your goals, keeping you focused and committed to your journey of self-improvement. By giving valuable feedback, guidance, and insights from those you trust, you can learn from mistakes, make informed decisions, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
Ultimately, they create a nurturing environment that encourages self-reflection, shares their strengths with you to overcome challenges, and guides you toward unlocking your full potential.
The wisdom, encouragement, and care of your personal and professional circle play a pivotal role in your path of self-discovery and growth.
This weekend I had probably my biggest responsibilities with a camera in my hand, second shooter for a very important wedding. This was more than pressing a button and filling a space. I was determined to take full advantage of the opportunity and respect such a personal responsibility, keep in mind, I said yes on Wednesday, and the wedding was on Friday. But because of my support, I knew I wouldn’t disappoint or become deadweight and could hold my own.
Thankfully I absolutely didn’t fail at this, but I did accidentally get some shots of the grass and my iso was occasionally too high when working with Flash for the first time but I’d rather fail while being brave than fail at being brave. I’ll make mistakes, learn, and grow. I’m in the game, pushing my limits, exploring my potential, and giving life my all. No matter what, I trust in my judgment, resilience, and strength. I’ll be okay, no matter the outcome. Per usual I learned so much walking away from an amazing opportunity and how, if the chance is given again, I’d do things a little differently.
