I love it when I phone a friend and ask to borrow her 3 year old for a shoot. Determined to get better at new techniques – and tonight I fell in love with photography all over again.
Last year I lacked the confidence to experiment with light. I am now in a place where I can have fun with my photography.
Shooting today helped me define my goals for this year. You all kept hearing me say… that I know I can be better .. I realized it is because I haven’t been shooting true to myself. I knew that my first year in Portfolio Building I had to shoot anything and everything – But I still felt like something was missing. I knew that my main goal this year was to try and take in the whole scene. I want to be a photographer that can take photos that seem as if you are getting a glimpse into someones soul. It is hard to do – But I am ready to take my photography to the next level. A level so intimate – yet pure. Looking at the image – You don’t know where they are are.. you just wish that you were there with them.
When I showed up at my friends house – Emma was eating ice-cream – So I sat back and shot.
Had to take one of her Big Sister – Catherine has been one of Haydens friends since we moved here.
And wouldn’t you know that While I was shooting Emma – My Emerson decided to strip and go into the water.
Jessica - She is adorable! her eyes are unreal! great images! I’m glad you had fun with the light. it is truly a wonderful thing to work with at shoots!
Meghan M - These are all absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. I am such a huge fan of your work. You are gonna knock each of your goals out of the park this year – it’s obvious already! Thanks for being such a huge inspiration. You make me want to pick up my camera and go shoot, shoot, shoot!
Chrissy - I love them all! Your abilty to manual focus is amazing, I am not that brave yet! Do you think you will do it all the time? I cannot believe Emmerson got into the water- wasn’t it freezing?!
