While I was editing her photos, I thought I dreamed her into life. Prior to my photography business, writing fiction was my main creative outlet. My heroine is often strong-willed, brilliant, witty, and has the most exquisite beauty.

The moment Alex appeared, I thought she walked right out of my fiction. Coincidentally, Alex wants to pursue graduate school to become a Physician Assistant. My latest fiction featured a medical setting… Seriously. I dreamt this up, right!?!

And true to a dream, Alex was so, so wonderful to work with. Her eyes lit up whenever she smiles. Her glow radiates from a sweetness from within. As we approached the willow trees at our local arboretum, Alex mentioned how she used to spend hours studying underneath the willows during her freshmen year. I, too, have my own corner at the arboretum that I love to sit, take in the fresh air, and work on my dissertation as classical music softly played in the background.

Alex, I wish you the very best of luck on your journey ahead and sincerely hope we will get to work together again. ♥️
