Susan + Charles | Portrait Session

Hi all. I apologize for the lack of updates, its been an extremely busy season and I have TONS of photoblogging to catch up on.

But I’ll start with this post, an engagement-style couples portrait session featuring none other than my beautiful baby sister. She’s been together with her high school sweetheart for nearly 6 years and I have to admit its disgustingly adorable. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m shooting their wedding photos a few years down the line.

We headed up to a new favorite spot of mine, Calico Basin. The warm colors and natural surroundings make this particular spot a perfect place for couples to have fun, let loose and focus on each other. More photos after the jump!

A Sneak Peak at Mary+Bobby

Greetings!

Just finished spending an absolutely beautiful and exhilarating wedding this past weekend with Mary & Bobby. There were many memorable moments that I could go on and on about, but more on that later.

For now, here’s a sneak peak of the photos from the day.

Raw. Visual. Impact.

 

These three powerful words epitomize my love for photography. A photograph, in essence, is memory in the raw. It is a way to record the gamuts of feelings juxtaposed upon the human face. A way to record the beauties and imperfections of the Earth. An important means to capturing things that are constantly vanishing. My camera is simply a tool in which I can tell a story. I’m capable and confident to explore all genres of photography, but the most intimate of them all is photojournalism. To take make a photograph based out of a sliver of reality.

This is why I’ve made the choice to focus most of my efforts on weddings. The raw, emotion-packed, fast paced nature of it all is something that makes my heart go thump thump thump. I’m always looking for emotions, expressions and the little tiny eccentricities. These are what make photo sessions unique. I’m always pushing my artistic limits, getting down’n'dirty in the grit, trying techniques that are considered impossible- and regardless, I’m always excited. I’d like to think my passion and excitement are contagious, making it just as much about the entire experience as it is about the final product.

The elements of storytelling, creative innovation and raw visual impact is what drives me to pursue this dream. And sharing my journey and experiences within my professional and personal work with others is the best part of it all. In our day and age of technology and Web 2.0, social media has allowed the entire world to interact and connect like never before. It’s improving and getting bigger by the day, so it’s about time that I’ve come to the realization that my passion for photography and literal storytelling could be integrated together. Which is great, since I’m not a particularly verbose person, I think that’s why I like taking making pictures photos. They speak for themselves.

Blogging. Finally. Here goes nothin’.
