I LOVE it when someone tells me this is the first time they’ve gotten family photos.
I don’t have to tell them to focus on their kids or stop smiling at the camera in every shot. They naturally pause to give their spouse a smooch. When their baby squeals with laughter, they throw their head back and laugh from their heart. When I ask them to take a family walk, they naturally soak in the surroundings and love on their family.
For too long, photos have been all about glamour and making every image a stand-alone icon shot. There is a place for those.
What I’m here for is to photograph people’s hearts.
And that doesn’t happen when they’re performing.
