What can I say about this person? Yes, I said person; not Photographer. Because Vanessa is so much more than some adjective, profession or hobby that folds, creases and finally shoves us into a pre-ordained pigeon-hole, forever to be stuck in a box and category; leaving the imagination dry of anything else provocative or thought-provoking, beyond the usual blatant connotations of what come with a big lens, flash and boring "Say Cheeeeseee!" catch-phrase.

Vanessa Paris Tuau is a Wife, Mother, Photographer and to top it all, a genuinely amazing person. That may sound over the top or like I'm "caking it on" -- But it is true. From simply reading her Blog you can tell she is all about her wonderful family, friends and her number one passion, Photography. She considers me as "one major rocking" Photographer and speaks of me helping her... But honestly, it is the other way around. It is people like Vanessa who give Photographers like myself the drive, energy and confidence to continue doing what I am doing -- From an entirely different perspective. Beyond the clients and the praise, it is comforting to know that I am enjoyed by who I consider to be, my peers.

And for that, I have to thank her. 

If you genuinely want a good read, a good laugh and a good feeling, along with some great Photography, I not only recommend, I beg you to go read her new Blog -- www.Vanessa-Paris.com
