Personal favorite!

Thursday, December 11, 2008

After chatting with a photographer friend and new photographer friend...I couldn't resist posting a personal favorite from a recent session.

So often during sessions, I can get lost in shooting for the client that I forget to shoot for myself.  Meaning, photographing my clients in an angle, lighting, mood or position that most likely won't be a favorite of theirs but definitely of mine.  This picture is one of a few personal favorites that speaks volumes to me.
AND below too!  
A photographer can't stage the look of completion and pride in a mother's eyes...the proud father seeing pure perfection and feeling adoration for his newborn son.  I look at this picture and think how happy this baby will be in 20 years when he has a picture to remember how his parents felt when he arrived.
If I've photographed you, then you most likely have heard me step onto my dime box as to why I'm a lover of black and white photography.  I'll spare everyone another talk on my box...but just  know, I process black and whites only in this format for a reason.  Meaning, the mood, emotion and message shouldn't have to compete with colors that can distract from the pure emotion in a black and white portrait.
