In this week's episode, we have Kelly Lemon, a one-armed wedding and elopement photographer based in PNW. Her story has inspired thousands of people and gave a big reason for everyone else not to give up. She is the epitome of dedication and hard work. The car accident she was in when she was 12 years old has transformed her life in many ways than one. A huge part of her body was paralyzed. She survived and tried living with only one hand.
But this didn't stop her from pursuing what she really wants, and that is photography. Kelly decided to enroll in a photography class despite her challenges. she experienced rolling the film in the darkroom using her feet. It was only last 2018 that both her hands are fully functioning. She does photography as a side hustle and loved it. It was when a NY Times photo editor saw her shots that pushed her to go full time.
She started her photography business and got clients from all over the US. In the middle of her success, her arm did it again. She was driving when she felt her arms fell off. No one knew what happened but she definitely can't stop where she is right now. She dealt with her clients and hired assistant photographers that helped her achieve what she wants. Surprisingly, her clients understood and still chose to go with her. She said the secret here is communication.
Listen in and discover how Kelly managed to face all these challenges and come out stronger, bolder, and definitely a winner!
