"Make mistakes. Learn from them. Move on." . After posting my self-portrait on a Facebook photography group I quickly learned that I made some major mistakes on my retouch. This was definitely a hard pill to swallow, especially with something you are so passionate about. I went to the back to the drawing board and had to repost the revisions. I'm sure it's not perfect but I definitely learned a lot on this image. . . .

In my last photoshoot @jremultimedia and @heyyitsariannaa this sweet lady came up to us fascinated with what we were doing. She and her husband were on vacation and I want to say they were from France but I'm not entirely sure. She kindly asked for a photo and this what I was able to capture. She was truly a natural in front of the camera. --------------- Shot on the Sony A7iii.
