“When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sand paper. They may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless.” – Chris Colfer

Another challenge with owning my own business is getting my name and my photography work out there. People who own their own businesses say that I am impatient because I want to be at “Point B” in my business and I’m still at “Point A” in my mind. They all tell me the same thing—“It takes time. You need to be patient.”
As patient as I am trying to be, I can be realistic too. Aaaaaand I am not too proud to ask for help. To all of my wonderful clients, faithful blog readers, fans, family and friends…I need your help in spreading my name. If you know of anyone who is looking for a photographer for newborn sessions, baby or child(ren) sessions, family sessions, maternity sessions and/or senior portrait sessions please mention my name and my business. Please send them my way!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your unconditional love and support!!! Thank you for believing in my photography work!!! Thank you for believing in me!!!
Please send any questions, concerns and inquiries to: mindy@mindymetivier.com I look forward to hearing from you, your family and your friends!!! Refer away!!! Thank you!!! Happy Monday!!! And may the force be with you!!!

This beautiful little babe was a sleepy, sleepy little girl. Meet Ailee. I love her name—it’s so unique and sweet!!! Her mommy and daddy kept her up for a few hours before she arrived so she was tired and ready to be photographed. I adored working with her and she totally rocked it out at her session!!! Since she was so sleepy I was able to get her into many different positions and change out many different hats, sets and headbands!!! You have to see how adorably cute she is as a little monkey and a puppy!!!
Ailee also gave me some smiles. My heart skips a beat every time a newborn smiles at his/her session. I am still developing my skills at being able to tell when newborns are going to smile while I’m working with them. Sometimes I’m right and sometimes I’m not. To capture that smile in an image is priceless and melts my heart every single time. I’m so happy that I was able to capture some smiles from Ailee
Thank you Mako and Ryan for the wonderful opportunity to photograph your brand new baby girl!!! I am truly blessed and grateful to have such wonderful clients like you!!! Thank you for allowing me to capture these precious moments in your life!!! Enjoy your images!!!

I’m not a wedding photographer, however I have photographed jadeite pieces for Jade by Nikolai and I’ve photographed Nikolai herself. Jade by Nikolai has advertisements in every issue of Hawaii Bride and Groom Magazine. Often times the images used are images that I have photographed. My image of Nikolai is featured HERE on page 37 of the Spring/Summer 2012 issue. The same ad was also in the Spring/Summer 2011 issue and the Fall/Winter 2011 issue. Go and check it out!!!
