Personal Project: Kids and Toys

February 10th, 2012

Personal projects are important for me and my photography business.  Pursuing something I wouldn’t normally shoot or shooting something in a new way keeps my skills sharp and allows me to venture into uncharted territory.  This personal project is not uncharted territory – kids!  I have photographed them before – kids were how I started my business.  This time around I wanted kids coming to the session with their favorite toys.  Allow them to interact with, show me the toys and sometimes ask me to play showed me a different side of each of these kids.

Wedding Photography and L.L.Bean

February 6th, 2012

 

My love of L.L.Bean is well documented.  If you have met with me you likely know about my giant L.L.Bean tote collection or how I like to visit the L.L.Bean flagship store just to walk around!  So when the book Guaranteed to Last arrived at my house I was giddy:)  I have been flipping through this book for the past few days and digging in deeper on certain parts.  While reading it became clear to me how my love of L.L.Bean fits in perfectly with my photography business – we are both trying to create the same thing – a product that stands the test of time.

When I photograph a wedding I know that I am not only with this family for the day but a little part of me is going to be with them for much longer.  Years later they will show their kids and grandkids the images I made on that day.  What I want out of my images is for them to stand the test of time.   Timeless but not stodgy, beautifully composed but not staged, true photojournalistic images of your wedding day that is my goal.  Images that are guaranteed to last.  Thank you L.L.Bean for the reminder:)
