In the two years of beginning and running my business I have been pushing more and more to find my voice. What kind of art do I love to create for people? What makes me proud? When do I get the most excited? There are lots of photographers out there, so I am realizing more and more that if I am going to take pictures for someone, I want to be capturing what I know I am the best at, because that is going to be reflected in the quality of my work. So what do I want to create? I want to capture the connection that you have with the world around you. The connection that you have with yourself, with God, with the people you love, and with nature. Imagine photos of daddy playing with his children,
This beautiful woman is my sister- in-law Stephanie. Her and I both became mommas pretty young and both discovered in our own way that the journey of motherhood is all consuming. When I took her photos, I saw in her a new strength, a new layer. She has become someone who knows how to carry it all, sacraficially. One who knows how to give life, over and over again. Someone who knows how to think for herself and for her family. She is finding her way. It made me want to write something that encourages all mommas on the journey. So if your a momma, here is my heart for you.... Let yourselves be photographed with your kiddos, often. They need to be able to see who you were. Play..let the dishes
This little guy and his parents have been a huge gift to me. They chose the membership package for Grahams first year of life, so that means that I got to see them every 3-4 months. Watching baby grow, regularly checking in with Jess and talking about life and seeing them develop as a little family has been, like a said, a gift. Not all of my clients will turn into friends, but I have to say it sure is sweet when they do. So thank you Nachtigall family, party of 4.....you're the best!!!
