Philosophies

I am introvert by nature. An observer. Perhaps a bit socially awkward. Okay, maybe a lot socially awkward. I actually find it easier to interact with someone with a camera in my hand and a lens between us than in 'Real Life.' Finding that moment – the flicker of an eye, a distant gaze, the curl of a smile. My portrait sessions often take longer than planned when I get lost in my photographer world.  This is why I love photographing children so much. Once you get past those first few awkward, cheesy grins, a child is willing to bare her soul.
