In case you don’t already know (all 1 reader of my blog), I am overwhelmed sometimes with how absolutely passionate I am about photography. I live it, I breathe it, it’s in my soul. For me, it’s not just “taking a picture”, it’s capturing a moment, or showing the love, or creating an image to show emotion. It’s emotional and each shot is something I take when I feel the moment is right.
With Real Estate Photography, I love going to each shoot and getting to know know not only the home, but the people that live there, through the environment. I try to make each shot show the personality of each room or section with the right lighting, the right angle and the right settings.
With nature- nature shots come the most naturally…I see life, and I want to capture all of it…each little detail…from a butterflies antenna to a flower’s stem, to the itty bittiest little flowers that most people stomp on every day and never see.
Photographing childen is very special….they can be running rampant and screaming and some crying…but it’s the one place I have absolute patience with because I know if I stay calm and just WAIT…that “THE” shot will happen…I love capturing that moment of time when the particular child laughed his or her hardest or when they hug their mom in the most loving way.
Photographing pets is very dear to my heart. I have always loved dogs and most all animals for that matter, but showed dogs for around 12 years. I would still do it now if I had the time. I love capturing personalities, showing the sweetest look, or the cutest gaze. I enjoy being with the owners of a special show dog or puppy and watching it get into just the right stack and capturing it showing it’s BEST of itself.
There isn’t many types of photography I don’t love. Even as I am typing this, I am thinking about upcoming shoots and imagining all types of possible creative lighting and images I’d like to make. I’m thinking about how tomorrow I’m going to a Butterfly Garden and am going to be like a 5 year old in a candy store once we arrive on the property. And it’s not just TAKING & MAKING the photos…it’s the processing….going through each one and finding the ones that are what I was shooting for, and making them into something special. Photography for me is exhilarating and a way for me to release all the creative energy I have built up inside as well as emotions- be it a dramatic shot, or a sad one, one that shows joy, or one that just makes you go “Awww!”.
I look forward to many years of growing better & stronger and improving as not only a photographer as a person!
Here are just a few very sweet tender moments with my little dog Bishop on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
