Capturing the Heart

Taking a look back

As look back over the post I wrote at the beginning of my journey as a photographer I started wondering if I still have the same passion.  I know I still love to photograph and still capture true moments in life.  Do I compromise who I am as a photographer and as a person?  I do at times and wonder how to stay true to who I am.  When I allow myself to just stand back and take a look at the person I am photographing I can feel and see who they are as a person and that is who I want to capture.  Even when it comes to families I want to see and capture who they are as a family.  I know it is hard because we have been brought up to pose and look a certain way in our photographs. But does that really give you a smile when you look back?   So the big questions are how do we learn to relax in front of the camera and how do I capture the true essences of you and/or family?  I do know I want to continue to learn and grow as I continue this journey.

Coke and Downtown Rogers

What a fun session.  My friends husband works for Coke and there is this great wall downtown Rogers with Coca-Cola painted on it.  It was a little challenging because the sun was hitting the wall and blinding everyone however we were saved by a cloud.

Latest Session

This is a very special family.  I have been taken photos since my friend was pregnant with her fouth child.  When G.. was born he was born without his left heart and has gone through two surgeries and has one more to go.  It amazes me how well he is doing.  It is hard to believe he is almost 2. 

Aren't they beautiful children?
