To expand on my previous blog entry.... one of the things I love so much about photography is being able to capture a moment. I don't think that we always remember sometimes that the most cherished pictures are the ones that tell a story. The ones that make you stop and look twice. I saw a photograph that a photographer had posted of a little girl . It was a black and white image. The child was off center, not even looking at the camera. She was looking down at the ground , her knees were covered in mud, hair a mess. I loved that picture. That one image reminded me of how simple life is as a child. And it made me wonder .. what it was that she was so captivated by on the ground. So in honor of my love for photography from a journalistic standpoint. I am going to offer something that to my knowledge nobody else does in this area. I would like to offer... life stories. I haven't yet come up with a price for this yet but I wanted to get the word out. I will be offering Birth Stories, Graduation, Family reunions. I'm thinking that I will put the images I take in a custom designed album to be included with the cost of the session. As well as have the prints available on a per print price if the customer wishes. Now why hire me when you can take these pictures yourself? Have you ever been frustrated trying to get a group of people to smile over and over for each person to take a picture..when your child was born was there someone there to tell the story , someone taking pictures of the little things. A husband holding his wife's hand, the look on the mothers face when she sees her child for the first time? Maybe I am wrong but these are the images that I hold value to. Images that tell a story, images that capture a fleeting moment that nobody else sees... images that will leave behind memories you will cherish for a lifetime.
