New year, new blog

Ok so I’m a bit late to the party this year.  Better late than never, right?  These first few weeks of 2019 have been busy for me and I could not be more excited!

As some of you may know, January 1st began a whole new chapter for me and my little photography biz.  While I spent a lot of 2018 exploring different genres of photography to decide what direction I wanted to steer this ship, I am planning to spend 2019 charting the course and taking action.
 
While I enjoy many different types of photography, I’ve found that what I love the most is capturing the real emotion and authentic connections that we experience in our everyday lives.  It’s not always connections between people - sometimes we connect with animals, or nature, or even a treasured possession, like a child with their favorite toy.  Sometimes we as the viewer make a connection with with the photo itself, and it can elicit an emotional response within us.  Within these connections lies a story, and I want to be the storyteller.

My project for this year is going to be focused on documentary photography, with an emphasis on families.  I have joined a year-long study program with award-winning family documentary photographer Kirsten Lewis, and in just the first few weeks I have already discovered new things about myself that will help me as I continue to grow as a photographer.

As the year progresses, I plan to share my experiences with all of you so that you can follow along on this adventure with me.  I might even be asking some of you to participate, so stay tuned!

​Until next time ~
