Deepening Connections
Despite the craziness of this 2020 year, it’s been the year of making new connections and deepening existing ones for me. One of the best things about being a portrait photographer in Rhode Island is that you run into people who know people you know. Then it’s a party for everyone. This summer, Aaron’s mother, Eve, contacted me about portraits to celebrate her son’s graduation from the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI). Going into the session, I knew we had a couple of things in common:
Eve graduated from Rhode Island College as I did
Aaron was considering going into Psychology or Social Work (I studied Psychology)
We all love Providence, RI
What we didn’t know and that I found out afterward was that one of Eve’s best friends is my husband’s niece-in-law Taylor! Taylor and I just reconnected early this year when I bumped into her at a Bridal Show. Taylor was there to planning her upcoming wedding, and I was there show-casing work from my wedding photography company Piper Brown Photography. It was a fun reunion, and thanks to the powers of social media, Taylor and I have been able to stay in touch.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that Eve - who reached out to me via Facebook and independent of her friend, knew Taylor. The creating and interweaving of connections is another reason why I love the work that I do.
If you’re a previous client or a potential one, follow me on Instagram @rhodeislandportraits, and let’s see who we have in common! Here are some of the portraits of Aaron I made 😁
