Meeting Mitra

June 27, 2015 in Passion for People

Mitra Jalali Nelson. Get used to her name. You'll be seeing it a lot more often.

Mitra reached out to me a while back because she wanted a few new head shots. I was thrilled to set up a shoot with her. She is, legit, one of the most passionate people I know (she's also incredibly funny), so I jumped at the privilege of doing a shoot with her.

She is a powerful person whose work is permeated by her love of justice and equity. I jokingly (read: seriously) told her that I'll shoot some photos for her campaign if she ever decides to run for office.

An impromptu cousin photo shoot
Sometimes your little coworkers make a bunch of noise and all your husband does is take pictures. Hats off to moms!
The boys saw my new lights and wanted to take photos.
Today was a difficult day of "work." But the day was made significantly better thanks to insight from @haymaymj, kind words from @kminh05, and post-bath snuggles with this little one.

We're not meant to do life/work/whatever by ourselves.
