Capturing the Moments

I load the pictures and get excited to see what I see.  I make lighting and color changes and adjust and adjust.

I click over adding my watermark after I am happy with the changes.

I put it out there in some way, either here on the blog or on one or more of the social media spots.

I wait, what will people say, will they like it?  Will the person who is in the photo or whose child I have tried my best to capture the essence of – will they like it?  Oh golly, I sure hope so.

Taking photographs is an art and something that is always out there for critique.  Someone will see it one way and another person will see it in a different way.  Even myself…. Sometimes I look at a photo and at first I like it and then when I look at it longer or after some time, I find something that I may not like so much after all.

Captured, just one moment in time that my brain and snapping finger find together.  One little moment that I cannot get back.  Or one that I find in the big scheme of things and that I like a lot.

I go to photo shoots, a tad nervous that someone is trusting me with their memories, THEIR moment.

But I know that this is something I love to do.  I know it in my bones.  More than I’ve ever known anything before.  So I will take those moments and capture them as best I can…
