No Glamour Shots, Just Behind the Scene

People often ask me, “how do you do what you do? I’d love to see how you work.“ The best part of photography is being able to capture and document all the precious real moment of lives. I truly enjoy my work and proud of being able to utilize my skills helping families and couples preserve their memories.

Well… it got me thinking, I want to see myself in action, too! So I started to look for photos of ME. Out of a few hundreds of photos, only a handful of images that someone on the scene happens to take a couple of photos, and I just happened to be in the frame. Not glamorous at all for sure, but I love them. It preserved the true action moment, which is what I live for, documentary style!

I’d encourage you to be in front of camera more often if you were the one always taking photos for others. Don’t drill too much into details of the image (color, light, composition etc…. you know what I mean). Preserve that tiny split second of your life with you in it, is what matters. 

Let us know if you are interested to see more behind the scene of my shoot by commenting on this post.

Thank you
