Inner realization

Ok. I look at things, and know if I like them or not immediately by the emotion an image evokes in me. Lately, I've been trying to figure out what it is about certain images that draw me to them. I like detail shots, like I've expressed before. I think I like them so much because they give you just a hint of the big picture and your imagination can go on from there. Feet shots always make me wonder what the owners of those feet are doing. Looking at a sunset? Laughing? Dreaming? I also like certain shots that mix the elements! I love the softness of a baby, or a girl in a soft sundress put up against a rough background like a harsh metal wall or an old barn door. The more textures you can creatively add, the better! Well, as long as it's done right! See, you can learn new things about yourself all the time! I think they call it personal growth... I call it the "Ah ha!" factor...

Too funny!

I had just had to post this one! The boys' are just too funny!

Family Portraits

I just had one of those days when everything worked out when I photographed this lovely family. First, the lighting was great. Then, I get to the Anthem Country Club and just fell in love with the area Lisa chose for the portraits. Then, I met the family. They were beautiful, fun, and so easy to work with! I had such a great time with this family, it was hard to choose which shots to post!

Engagement shoot

Sometimes, I learn things about myself from other people. What I realized recently, from an off-handed comment is that I LOVE detail shots! How did I not know this about myself? Once it was put out there, I realized that I truly love looking for those little details and capturing them in eye catching angles. These photos, taken at an engagement shoot I tagged along for with Mary www.photosbymary.com represent what I am talking about.
