Some of you have asked from time to time what it is that a wedding photographer does in the dark, cold winter months when weddings in Northern Michigan are fewer and farther between.
That is an excellent question...
thank you for asking.
We play!
Photography is an art and ever changing challenge. The more I can use and become familiar with my camera, lenses and other equipment, the better able I am to capture amazing but fleeting wedding day moments.
Now for the challenge.
I am a people photographer.
For me, fewer events means fewer exciting and energizing reasons to shoot...
thank goodness for talented friends who encourage me to play and push myself photographically.
It was on one long, blustery day that a fellow photographer and amazing talent encouraged me to try shooting something out of my normal area of expertise...something not wedding related (gasp)!
WHAT FUN!
And I am not saying that sarcastically, I mean it...it was fun!
I set about creating something beautiful using her collection of vintage pocket watches and sheet music...
taking another step in my lifetime process, evolving my shooting style into something that is mine alone...
one winters day, one fun idea at a time.
