I have had times since starting my business that I have lost focus of being creative, trying new things and shooting what I am passionate about.  When I lose focus on these aspects, photography feels like work.  I don't want my work to feel like work...that's no fun. That being said, I am doing Passion Projects.    These are sessions or style that I have pictured in my mind but haven't followed through with.  My Passion Projects will benefit all of my clients and since these sessions will focus on a theme, style or idea I am offering them in kind of a mini session way, and more details will be available with each project. 

 

My first Passion Project will be based on families.  Yes, I photograph families all the time, but a friend sent me this blog post:  Eighteen Summers : It's all we get.  This blog hit me hard, it made me think a lot about my own life.   I mean I know my birds are only in the nest for 18 years but its seems so short when you say it out loud.  These summer days can seem so long!  The kids fighting, the "i'm bored" being chanted every 15 minutes and the  "take me" and "get me" that seems to be yelled non stop.   At the same time, these days fly by! Days laughing by the pool, family cookouts and movie nights, I could take these days forever.  Soon the sibling fights will stop, days at the park will end, cuddling with my kids to watch a movie will soon just be memories.   Time with mom and dad will be replaced by cars, friends and dates and I will just have memories of summers past.    Remember, these summers... these days are so important.  I would love to capture a memory from one of your eighteen summers.
