Close your eyes,
Take a few deep breaths,
The deepest breaths you've taken all day.
Why are you here?
Not the logistics,
Not the schedule,
Not an artist's statement,
Really.
Why are you here in this moment?
The whole life you've lived,
Every experience,
Every memory,
All of your sensitivities,
Your unique gifts that only you possess in the way you do.
All of you is sitting here,
About to witness something that can only be witnessed once.
Ever.
You have immense power.
What will you do with it?
There's no pressure here.
There is only a knowing,
A reverence,
A gratitude,
A recognition of truth.
Tap into your deepest presence.
It's time to get really still.
Connect with your intentions.
What is important?
What do you know to be true?
Get excited about what you don't know,
So you can be open to discovery.
This is infinite expansion.
Absolutely nothing can go wrong.
Nothing is wrong or right.
It just is.
You have all of the power in choosing to witness and accept and see beyond what others might be able to in this moment.
You have that gift.
When you know that you are enough,
You give others permission to know that they are as well.
When you are feeling at ease and relaxed,
You help others feel at ease and relaxed.
When you listen,
Deeply listen,
You can hear someone's heart and follow their lead.
When you see,
Deeply see,
You can see beyond what is in front of you.
You can see that moment you are looking at through your viewfinder on someone's dusty mantle 20 years from now.
You can see how the symphony of light and color and composition and movement and stillness and body language and expressions come together to say all of the things that there are no actual words for.
Just your picture.
You don't have to be the professional in the room.
You just be.
Trust in your vision.
Trust in your purity of intent.
Trust in the gift that is anything that happens in this session.
You don't need to have all the answers.
You don't need perfect lighting.
You don't need a perfect background.
You don't need the best equipment.
You don't need everyone to be in the best mood.
You don't even need to feel immense confidence.
All you need is you.
Connect to your truth.
Bring your whole self to the space you are about to enter.
Trust yourself to see in the way that you know you can and you will.
To let go of the need to have all of the answers.
Embrace you so that they can embrace themselves.
Show them how beautiful it all is through your lens of truth.
Remain open and let it unfold even better than you could have ever imagined.
You are more than enough.
You are extraordinary.
They are more than enough.
They are extraordinary.
And you get to remind them.
Remind them of what you crave to be reminded of.
This moment is all there is and it is so very simple.
Allow this experience of humans coming together to be filled with ease and acceptance and love and truth.
View any surprises or constraints as the highest possible gift and watch the magic overflow.
Take another deep breath.
Let a smile of anticipation,
Of inspiration and excitement come to your face and the butterflies of knowing you are about to witness something once in a lifetime and then gift it to a person.
You are doing sacred work in this life.
Thank you.
Now,
Enjoy the view.
