Wow... has it really been that long since I blogged :/ New year's resolution #1, blog at least once a week!!
So, I recently had a major A-HA! moment. And I just want to talk about that for a minute. I was watching a photography class on family photography and the most impactful thing I took away from the class was "capture the relationship even if you have to sacrifice the fundamentals of photography". This really hit me. Because since the beginning of my business, this is what I have been striving to do. I just haven't been able to put that into words and action when I'm shooting. Now that I have those words in my head, I have finally found the joy and fulfillment that I have wanted to get from my shoots. I feel like I've always been pretty good at capturing expressions (hence the name Expressive Photography), but now my objective every time is the capture the relationship. I'm so thankful that I happened to be online for THAT class at THAT moment in my life because it was exactly what I needed at THAT moment to take me where I want to go in the future.
This is the future of my business.
Capture the relationship.
Here are some of my images since having heard these words spoken directly to my soul. I'd love to know how you think I'm doing so far!

One last thing I would like to add... I get messages, texts, emails all the time from clients, thanking me for a fun session. (I INSIST we have fun at our sessions! :) or a mom thanking me for being patient with her children who weren't the most cooperative during our time together (I have 4 kids, so it's VERY easy for me to work with this situation! :) ... but this last photo I shared is a photo of the wife and daughter of a friend I have known for a very long time. His wife, Erin, sent me a text this week that is by far the most special thing anyone has ever said to me about my photography. She thanked me for capturing who they are as a family.
I just might be on the right track to where I want to go this year with my work. Thank you for helping me get there!
