finding moments in life worth capturing.
loving and embracing those moments just as the subjects do.
caring for and respecting those moments like they are your own, because just for a split second, they are.
having the knowledge and practice to know where to move, how to adjust your camera, consider the lighting, the subject, the emotion…
and snap the shutter at the exact. right. second.
thanking your subject for allowing you to catch a glimpse into their life, their soul, their love.
selecting the perfect images to proof. the ones that most perfectly portray the expirience.
proofing in a way that reflects the subject, the day… proofing in a way that you’re sure to not only make the viewer feel deep in their heart what it was like to be there,
but also in a way that makes the subject remember, deep in their soul what it was like to be.
looking back on images once taken and recognizing how you’ve grown, knowing that as an artist, though you may reach your “happy place”,
you will never truly finish growing.
remembering that the steps you take in your career are not steps of mistakes and imperfection, but rather building blocks that fit perfectly together
to create a windy stairwell of experience, emotion and love.
knowing that the first thousand steps are just as important as the very last.
being a photographer is really important.
trust me.
