I really haven't been doing photography for that long, so I am still constantly trying to learn and improve everything I do. There are so many photographers whose work I look to for ideas and inspiration.
Well, just the other day I think I just discovered a piece of my style - it was a very exciting feeling actually! :) In almost every photo shoot I do, I have a favorite picture. And, what I just realized is that there is a common theme in each of these pictures! Let me post a few and you can see if you can guess it (a few of them you will have already seen on previous blogs).
From our recent vacation:
Did you guess it? It's JOY! I absolutely love capturing joy!
Not the "look at the camera and smile" kind. The kind that you can't pose, stage, or set-up.
The kind that makes you feel like you are there in the moment with them, and you have an overwhelming desire to laugh right along with them. The kind that makes you ask what wonderful thing they must be laughing at.
I love to capture these precious fleeting moments in time.
I absolutely love your work and I know exactly what you mean! That is my absolute favorite shot everytime! They are not always my older clients favorite as they think they look silly laughing, but usually they are my parents favorite of their children. I enjoy every single one of them. I love how you have put them all together. I must do that for myself to remind me why I do what I do. Thank you.
