I am currently working with David Peters. David has been in the photography business for over 35 years. He has loads of experience and is an amazing mentor, photographer and friend. He has taught me so much about photography, but more importantly about people. He shares my passion for not just taking pictures, but telling stories through images.
One of the things that I love about photography is that there is so much to learn. I can confidently say that I will never stop learning, and I love that. I will continue to grow and develop as a photographer, always. And David, who has been in the business basically his entire working life is still learning. And learning from me. I am really enjoying the fact that while he has so much experience there are still things that he has to learn. It shows me that I can live my whole life doing what I love, and never get bored.
We recently went on a shoot in China Camp, and these are a few of the images from that shoot.
This shot was taken just as the last light filled the sky. It was dark, really dark. But I love the feel of this image. It looks as if it was taken with a pin hole camera, giving it a very retro feel. It was exactly what I was looking for at that moment. And I think it came out really well.

I love these images. I love that she was so full of life and as I photographed her I could see her story unfold before me. After all, that is the essence of what I do. I capture the moment. I tell stories and each image captures something that is unique to that moment.
And, this is why it is so important to me to build a relationship with my clients. I need to know them and I need to know their story so that I can show them who they are on film. I need to preserve the story of their lives, not for them or for their children. But, for their grandchildren. For that generation that will never know them as they are right now. So that they can see the beauty of the relationships that lead to the life that they were given.
...have I mentioned that I love my job?

These shots are great. I love the old school pin up shot (pin hole camera one). Impressive Sis!
(01.25.10)Thanks Matteo! I love that you called it a pin up shot. I suppose that is exactly what I was going for, you just put it into words for me.
