samantha walked in the door with a sweet, quiet smile. we'd never met. i could tell right away that this might not be on her top ten list of really fun things to do. but, she nodded and smiled when i told her to twist and turn in completely unnatural ways. then something fun happened, she started to open up. her smile turned from uncomfortable to genuine, her big beautiful brown eyes started to glisten. her sister brought her and of course we had to photograph them together, which made it even better!
the main reason i love to photograph people is the connection we gain. not many people love to be photographed, it's a vulnerable place, but my goal is to have fun, open them up, and capture something different. for me a photo shoot is more than just snapping some shots, it's about finding common ground. i hope all my clients feel like they are hanging out with an old friend by the time the day is over.
