Hi frans! My name is Justine and that handsome fella in the next frame is my hubby, Zach. We are the force behind JWP and to be transparent, much further into this than we thought we’d be just shy of three years from picking up our first camera. That being said... we're certainly not complaining. . Fun facts about me? Believe it or not, I've been more social this year than I think I've been since high school, and between the friends I've made in education and the friends I've made through photography... I'm feeling like a big, bold, fluttery butterfly.  Has anyone else found themselves more social with age? I'm also deep in planning my summer bucket list because for the first time ever I DON'T WORK THIS SUMMER and I'm excited to have time to try all the things. #livingmybestSLPlife (Sorry... I've never said it and I've always wanted to. Done, I promise.) . Fun facts about Zach? Zach just kind of got dragged into the photography thing but since discovering he could double as a comedian (he thinks he's pretty darn funny), he's been enjoying the positive reinforcement from our client friends. Another fun fact? Zach deboarded a plane for me once. It was during our first(?) year of dating, and we were set to go visit his dad out in the wonderful state of Wyoming... but... I woke up that morning with a fever (that turned out to be strep throat), and once we arrived at the airport, I knew I couldn't stomach the trip. I called someone to come pick me up as I watched Zach get on the plane... only to see his stressed out face five minutes later (when he decided he just couldn't do it). Think "Dumb and Dumber"... but the other way around. No, we never got refunded. And yes, Zach constantly uses this as a source of guilt and proof of his undying devotion. Go ahead, guys... praise Zach. He's going to LOVE these #fridayintroductions!
There have been many lessons learned over the past year, but of them all, patience and perseverance have been at the forefront. I am learning to be patient in my personal growth (as an educator, as a photographer, and as a person). I am learning to be patient with people, and patient with alllllll the things that fall outside of my control... and, in the midst of all this patience, I am learning the art of perseverance (especially in situations that feel really overwhelming, which, for someone with my level of anxiety, can happen quite often). But my takeaway is this: no matter where you are in your personal journey to wherever you’re going (or want to be)... it is OKAY to be where you are, and it’s okay if all you can do is show up, as you are, and be there as best as you can. Give yourself some grace, because it’s most certainly better than not showing up at all.
