    Portraits have a way of bringing out a persons personality in different ways. This is a fun shot because of Annie’s smile or maybe that’s a smirk. We were having fun and trying things to see what worked. A fun shot as she peeks at you.

    Annie: Somewhere in Thoughts

    Have you ever found yourself holding a cup of coffee, or maybe reading a book, waiting for a friend who is late, quietly sitting in prayer or mediation, and found your mind has taken flight to another place and time? I have been caught in those state. I’ve also caught others in those state, just staring out the window. They are no longer present. Gone. Bye-bye. They are some place else. Yep, I must admit to all of the above. I do not always stay present to the moment. I’m learning to be more aware of those times of departure and gently come back to the present.

    In the past when asked if I was a professional photographer I responded with the statement, “Well I’ve made money with my photography by shooting weddings and portraits and selling a few framed prints. But, I do not make my living at it.” I feel differently now. When I can create an image that moves me and someone else then I feel I’m more than just a photographer. I’ve moved into a newer stage of my photographic adventure. Maybe that’s professional, I’m not sure only time will tell. As I develop my photographic eye and practice my skills, I’ve begun to see portraits with newer eyes. I see how important it is to bring out the personality of the person, showing both their outward and inward beauty. Hopefully, I’ve accomplished that in this image.
