I was recently asked to photograph my friend and fellow photographer, Cindy Strickland, owner of A Moment Captured and current President of the Florida Professional Photographers (FPP). It’s always such an honor when another photographer asks me to take their portrait, but this was especially fun and special for me. Around four years ago, Cindy reached out to me and invited me to join our local photographers guild, Tallahassee Professional Photographers. I really didn’t want to go. See my story on that here. But after she insisted and I went to a meeting, I was totally in. Since then, I’ve become more involved in TPPG and been President for two years running, joined the FPP, and achieved my Certified Professional Photographer status and Photographic Craftsman through the Professional Photographers of America. I can honestly say that before Cindy pulled me into this crazy life, I had no idea any of this was out there. I’m so appreciative to her for giving me that push I needed to put myself out there. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
