…Charm

 

charm | ch ärm|noun the power or quality of giving delight or arousing admiration

Just recently I heard a quote that I really loved. “How do people make it through life without a sister?” Fitting and so true. I can’t imagine it at all, having three sisters of my own. A best friend and a mortal enemy all in one, the best laughs you’ll ever have, the honest truth, the dirtiest and sometimes scrappiest fights, and the most support and unconditional love given. My sisters are my best friends.

It was nice to see this dynamic in my session with sisters Rachel and Shannon last weekend. As with most photo sessions they started out a bit unsure of what to do. As soon as the mood of “let’s just have fun,” was set, they both relaxed. Not only did Rachel and Shannon showcase their sisterly charm to me through jokes and laughter, but our locale provided fun backdrops, to magnify the girls undeniable spunk. Thank you both for such a great time. Enjoy!

Creativity…

creativity |ˌkrē-āˈtivitē| noun the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work. I’m lucky enough to surround myself with a lot of creative people. My friends include actresses, artists, chefs, comedians, a gaggle of photographers, musicians, calligraphers, DIYers, interior designers, quilters, scrapbookers, writers, bloggers, and so on and so on. Needless to say, I’m inspired pretty regularly. This […]

Proximity…

proximity |präkˈsimətē| noun nearness in space, time, or relationship I’d heard a lot about this family, before I had met all of them. Mama Ana, is my coworker.

…Wingman

sfggp004

wingman |ˈwiNGˌmən| n. a man who helps or supports another man; a friend or close associate I was painfully shy as a kid. Painfully! I found it hard to make friends, was always the quiet one, hated small talk, and was anxious if I ever had to lead or carry on a conversation. Shyness, honestly there weren’t to many perks […]

…Sea

img_1288

sea noun the expanse of salt water that covers most of the earth’s surface and surrounds its landmasses. Why are we so mesmerized by ginormous fish tanks? Why do people young and old, stop dead in their tracks to stare longingly at ocean life. I think it’s because the ocean is so vast, so beautiful, […]

greeting |ˈgrētiNG| noun a polite word or sign of welcome or recognition Season’s Greetings! Too early you say? Not for this family. They are prepared for the impending holidays.

…Ease

peartreefitz005

ease |ēz| noun absence of difficulty or effort I’d love to say that each session I do starts out immediately with an absence of difficulty or effort, but that would be a lie. It always, as it should, takes a few setups to ease into picture taking. It’s unnatural for most people. So, as the photographer it is my […]
