Today’s post features one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. Truly! We became friends after I interviewed her for our school newspaper in graduate school. I remembered her saying that she had worked at the UN in Haiti and I thought she would make a great feature story. I had NO idea that her story had SO many layers. After I interviewed her, I actually felt that her story was so big, it might be one of the most important stories of my career and I was just a young journalism student.

This photo was taken of my nephew, Jamie, a few years ago. He was running around in his yard and I asked him to stop for one second so I could take his photo. He ran up to me stopped for literally one second, I snapped the photograph and then he ran off again. Looking back I am so thankful that I got this photograph. It is him in his element with a chocolate smeared face. A perfect little flare came into my lens as I took the photo too. Everything just came together in one amazing moment. 💕

I have zillions of old files on a number of hard drives dating back to circa 2009 when I got my first DSLR camera. I was shooting film before that. I used to photograph every. living. thing. haha My camera stayed in my purse and I photographed anything new or remotely interesting.
I wanted to finally put those files to some use and to look back and see the things I thought would make an interesting photo back when I had my little t2i canon rebel. I used that camera for seven years until the parts starting falling off of it. So I have decided to start posting roughly once a week here on my blog. I will re-edit or edit ( some of them were never edited and never saw the internet) in my current editing style that I have nailed down after many years. So this marks my very first throwback Thursday on the blog 😎

Let’s be real; for most of us having our photo taken can be a little intimidating. I totally get that because I feel it too. As soon as the camera is pointed in my direction I clam up and think “Oh my gosh, what do I do with my hands???” and I am a dang professional! This is where the photographer’s skill comes in. My main job is actually to make you feel comfortable and I love doing that.
Once you arrive at your session I will take care of everything there but there are a few things, listed below, you can do and keep in mind while preparing for your session.

I had a dream a few months ago that I was taking photographs of my father. My father passed when I was 12, long before I had my very first camera. In my dream I couldn't believe I had never thought to take photos of him before. I remember the lens I wanted to use in my dream. I carefully attached it to my camera and led him to his favorite spot on the couch by the huge window I used to look out of when I was very impatiently awaiting the arrival of my mom on her way home from work.
