That First Time

I love the first time I get to shoot a family.  It's the newness, I guess.  Getting to see them interact, and how their family goes together.  This family reminded me that I love to capture those interactions between each of them.  The connection--that's what I love.

My heart beats a bit

I have stepped back from my photography as my life as taken me in different directions.  I haven't stopped, just slowed down. And seeing this shoot--my heart starting pounding a bit, I forgot how much I love it.  When I get those candid moments--the open mouth laugh, the slightly blurred shot, the things that remind me that God gave me a gift to be able to do something creative, because art is not my thing, but this is.  Maybe I will direct myself back here, because this light, these smiles and this capture in time is what I deeply love.
