After 15 years in business, I feel that I have really found my focus with my photography. So many in the photography industry say that you need to "niche down" or specialize in one type of photography. I have always fought that standard because I love to take photos of so many different things...I love weddings. I love maternity. I love newborns. I love kids and families of all ages. I love to capture images that are going to help you in your business, whether that is of products or a headshot to showcase your personality and help others know the person behind the business. I love all the different things to photograph because I love people.
The thing that I have finally figured out in the last few years is that I don't just want to take pictures of these different things, I want to capture memories of all these special moments throughout a lifetime. I want to be a lifetime photographer. My dream is to photograph a wedding for a bride (or groom) that I have photographed since in the womb. To be able to reach that goal, I have come to the understanding that it is all about how my clients FEEL about the images I capture for them. I have made a change recently to focus more on delivering beautiful heirloom products because I want the subjects of my photos to be able to touch those memories, to remember how they felt during that time in their life. Yes, sometimes that is going to mean remembering that this time in their life was stressful to get all the kids ready and out the door, or to get them to behave, or whatever else is stressful at the time...but the main thing to remember is that you got stronger by making it through that time. And even though it is stressful, you will also remember how you teared up with feelings of pride and joy when your baby boy looked right at you and gave you a flower he picked. Or the tug at your heart when you view that image of your sassy little girl looking right at the camera and giving her biggest and brightest smile. No matter what the stage of life, my goal is to help you experience those feelings over and over again, and remember that you are a stronger person for having made it through any of the stressful moments and help you feel all the joy of those times in life.
