Children’s Fine Art Portraiture

I love fine art children’s portraiture. Not only do you capture the essence of your child, but it truly is art.

Family Portraiture

Fall is an awesome time of year to capture images of your loved ones in a family portrait session and have displayed on your walls like a piece of art.

this is a link to Benjamin Edwards photographs from his trip to Kenya to bring awareness and help raise funds for these communities and hospitals.  Take a look at the image with the child holding the tablet that says Love.  Look at the joy in their faces!  But also see the tablet and how warn it is from so much use.  they need our help.  We are so privileged that we take forgranted sometimes the things our children have.  Please give if you can.

This post is something that has been near and dear to my heart for a long time.  Travelling to Africa to help out their communities has always been a dream of mine.  I’m so hoping that I’m one of the chosen photographers to attend a workshop being hosted by Kevin Kubota and Doug Gordon.  I’ve been using my talents and time to bring awareness to local charities and events in my own community that I believe in.  I want to always help wherever I can and I believe it doesn’t have to be something significant to make things happen or to make a difference in someone’s life.  Give of yourself what you can.  I love that I can do that with the talent I have been given.  Even if I am not one of the chosen, I will be organizing some upcoming fundraising to assist this worthy cause and try to spread a little awareness so that others wanting to help can do so too.

Cuba – Travel Photography

This young boy was playing in the streets in Cuba without a care in the world. It made me extremely happy just to watch him. This is how simple life should be…a world without all the crazy toys or video games…just our own imagination.

Cuba

I’ve recently discovered my love of travel and photography together. Prior to my cancer, I didn’t believe it was possible for me to get out into the world and explore, however, since my diagnosis, I get out every opportunity I can. What an experience it is to see other cultures, experience the way they live and appreciate my fortunes that much more. While my friends all hit the streets to shop, I hit the streets with my camera and talk to the locals, photographing their environment. If I could only do one thing here on in in my life, it would be to travel and record and bring awareness to the places I’m so privileged to visit.
this woman reminded me of my own mother. As a child, we did not have an easy life, but it was a good one. I remember doing laundry in the summer outside with a washboard and hanging it on the line. We never did without the necessities.

Lady of the Sea

I’m really enjoying being a little more creative with my photography lately. It’s something I’ve been wanting to explore for some time and am now starting to incorporate a little more Fine Art work into my sessions

Fine Art Portraiture

One of the things I love to do as a photographer is create. I love to show a simple message in one image and have it seem magical. This one I call “Imagination” as I’m sure you can see why.

Children’s Portraiture – Nathaniel

this little handsome devil was so fun to photograph. I’m such a lucky person to get to meet and interact with all these little personalities. Being a children’s portrait photographer sure has its perks. I get to laugh and giggle and play right along with these little ones.

Family Photographer

I love my red couch for family photography. Only today it magically turned brown just so it wouldn’t clash with what the family members were wearing. The location was gorgeous as well. I’m not sure why it’s always so quiet here or why I don’t go and enjoy it more myself. it’s just one of those places where you can really relax and the trees are fabulous. Such beautiful older trees towering above.
