Love The People Who Get You: Head Shots For My Writer Friend
(Inside: People who get you are a gift. Here’s some photography I took of my friend from my writing group. She needed photos for a project, and I was happy to take them.)
Beautiful friends who get me.
My writing club.
Amazing women who understand my need to have a creative outlet.
This group has enriched my life. We all have different personalities and writing genres. But our differences create a place where I always learn and receive quality feedback on my writing. The women believe in me, encourage me, and challenge me. Every month I look forward to meeting with these wonderful women.
One of my writing club friends needed pictures for a project she is working on.
She has an agent and book deal and is running her own website, and our group couldn’t be prouder of her. When she mentioned this in our meeting – me, me, me, I want to take your photos! It was so fun to get to be creative with my camera.
Just for fun and as a reminder to myself of how blessed I am to have these women in my life, I posted a few of the pictures I took here.
Good friends.
The people in your life who make you feel smart, funny, connected, understood, and beautifully happy.
Totally priceless.
