Laughter

By

I keep looking at this outake from a recent portrait session and I can’t stop thinking that I need more belly laughs, more fun and more lightness!

My client had insisted to drive almost 2 hours to see me even though it had been raining hard for a few days straight. I worried about finding the right location, about what she may be wearing (yep!), about those dark clouds that wouldn’t move away, and I also sincerely hoped that our chemistry would make this a worthwhile session for both of us. The result: everything worked out for the best. In the last minute we even had a hint of sunshine. In fact, we had such a great hour and I couldn’t have been more captivated with her smile. I mean, look at her energy! Finding this shot today was such a delight as it reminded me that I need (perhaps we all need) to keep things light, because in the end we do the best we can, and the rest unfolds without our control and just as it should.

So today, why don’t you share some laughter and lightness with us. Show us those lit up faces that will remind us that everything is going to be okay.

  4. I knew right away what photo I was going to post! I took this photo of my friends' son a couple months after they adopted him from an orphanage in eastern Europe. You'd never know that just two months before this little guy had an empty gaze that was heartbreaking to see. Due to his Down Syndrome he was headed for a life of institutionalization until this family adopted him, so when I see this photo it reminds me "Ah… This is what love looks like!" http://aidenproject.com/

Before hand, I knew I wanted to try and get some pictures of us together. We had SO much fun….even though this was the only shot that was even marginally acceptable.
