behind the lens...

when i am not a 'photographer', i am a mother.  which means, i am always a photographer.  mothers can not get enough of or talk enough about their children.  many photographers find their way into this field in exactly this manner.  although i was a photographer before becoming a mother, i am no different.  photographing children is rewarding in numerable ways.  for example, almost every expression (happy, sad, or mad face) is entertaining.  additionally, photography captures the essence of the moment.  what may have been stressful, or hot, or exhausting doesn't have to translate onto the image unless we, behind the lens, make it so.

may love fill your days...

being blessed as I am, having married into a wonderful family, I have been given more and more children to photograph!  children are the ideal model, as they are always entertaining, moving, and changing.  as parents, we feel a need to document the faces and lives of our children.  this is most evident in infants, as they change from day to day, minute to minute.  as a photographer, I am given the opportunity to do this for others, to help moms and dads forever 'fix' fleeting moments.  this is a most precious and special gift to be able to give, especially for those who are away serving our country.  and I am most honored to be given this special task.

a special Thank You to Ben and his family.
