Today, I start with a personal post. One of my fellow photographers mentioned in one of her posts to always take the time to at least take 1 photo at a session for you. I sometimes forget, but I have tried it. So here are some of my passings during my session, or the drive over.
My first love when I started taking photos was documentary work. I wanted to tell a story of a place I was at. Back in college I'd take long drives in the country to unknown places to myself in search of the perfect photograph. Sometimes I wished my eyes could just take the photograph. You can't always stop to take photograph and sometimes you lose your moment when the light is absolutely perfect. And then of course I kick myself for not stopping or finding a road to turn off. But, here are some of those moments where I did stop.
This was taken during a reception back in April. It was a barn wedding and the most perfect sunset. I got the couple out for a couple of images, but this was breath taking.
This is a client's backyard. I love the field off white little weed flowers. Spring is just lovely.
Another Spring/Summer photo of the Illinois midwest weeds/flowers. Now that I have a garden I appreciate any kind of flowers.
I had an engagement session in downtown Chicago in March. It was a prefect spring day to be out and about. I love the pastel coloring, the quietness of this photo even though I know behind me is the city that is loud, crowded and busy.
Here is another from Chicago. When I lived in Chicago I hardly spent time in the "tourist" attractions because it was busy and I of course was a city girl. I wished I had been a tourist in my own town. I am always looking for the abstract. It always attracts my eye.
