Momma to be.....

Two Sisters

Last weekend I shot photos of these two sisters. In the beginning they weren't really sure what to do (have fun!). I don't like to pose kids too much, I'd rather catch them in "real" moments! It was really fun to see these two begin to relax in front of the camera as we went along. Enjoy :)

What makes a beautiful photograph?

I was at Barnes and Noble today looking through some photography books and I thought to myself- What makes a photograph beautiful? Is it the subject? The lighting? Colors? I guess the answer to this question might vary depending on who you ask. Here's my answer:
In my opinion, what makes a photograph beautiful is capturing that one moment you don't want to be forgotten, ever. It could be the birth of a child or capturing a simple expression of emotion. That's what is so great about photography. It really is ALL beautiful! This is why I love to take photographs.
