Being awake to the moment, finding new, fresh ways to photograph the essence of childhood, pregnancy, infancy, families, couples, LOVE; this is what makes my life rich and happy! I want to capture the details, the emotions & gestures that make each of us unique and beautiful. I feel this cannot be done in a mass marketed, retail setting, where the props, backgrounds and poses are tailored to some "theme" of the month, not your individual child. Children are more free to be themselves outside of a studio, free to SHINE! Childhood is about play & delight & curiosity & magic and a hundred more things that are more interesting than a stiff, formal "pose".
There are many, many things that make my heart sing, The number one, absolute best thing is being a Mommy! Aria is pure light & love & moonbeams on rosebuds and whatever else on our gentle Earth is pure joy & darlingness! (new word?) The second best thing is photographing people, especially children! As far back as I can remember, I've always felt so ALIVE behind a camera! It allows me to focus (pun!) on the details around us and within us that make each person unique & beautiful!
