It Just Shows

Sometimes, while I'm on the computer working on my sessions, I'm so into what I'm doing that I practically relive the session all over again. While in la-la land, my kids ask me quite often "why are you smiling"? I tell them "because I love my work". This is so very true about me. I L.O.V.E M.Y. W.O.R.K. I love the experience of getting to know people in a different level, especially if I already "knew" them. I love making them laugh and helping them break out of that "I'm just not photogenic" shell that's wrapped around them before coming into the session. I love the expressions on their faces when they see themselves in the images and say "Wow, I really like how I/we look there". Its such an awesome feeling. My main goal while shooting is to make sure my pics come out as perfect as possible straight out of the camera but, sometimes a little tweek gets done here and there in my post processing. Although it involves a few extra steps, it allows me to dissect every image one by one, letting me soak it all in yet once again. I enjoy the process from the beginning to the very end. My passion for photography is so overwhelmingly satisfying to me that I can't help but smile, it just shows.

Here's the sneak peek I promised you of Junior and Keziah's engagement. Late but hey, cut me some slack;)
