I had a portfolio review!

This past March I decided I wanted to hear what a professional thought of my work.  I mean, I like it (but I do wear a pair of "mommy goggles") and my friends all say "you take such nice pictures." But really?  In the sea of so many photographers do I stand out in one way or the other?  

So, I picked my favorite 20 images I had taken in the last two months and sent them off to my photographer crush "Heather from the Flourish Academy."  I was kind of nervous when I saw her email with her recorded review.  When I pushed play on the screen cast recording, I was pleasantly surprised when she said she followed my work and was wondering how she would even critique it.  But she did.  Overall, my black & white images are my strongest and thinks that my photojournalistic portraits are unique.  I am not perfect and my images are not, but knowing that someone besides my sister and best friends think my art is good puts a big ole smile on my face.
