Lately, I’ve had quite a few clients tell me that they were surprised how little I click the shutter during a session. I think it’s really interesting to hear, because from my side of the camera, my mind is always thinking and anticipating, and the click of the shutter is such a small part of […]

When I was a little girl and my parents used to ask me what I was going to be when I grew up, it was always a teacher. Well, that’s not entirely true. It vacillated between a teacher, a doctor, a veterinarian and a country music star. But, teacher was the one that stuck around […]
