What do you love about your job?
Presence. "Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." Photography demands you be present and seek beauty in order to visually tell the stories. It offers opportunity to capture others in a light which helps them see how wonderfully they were made and creates appreciation. Photography translates as, "to write with light." And that's just what I love about my job: writing with light.

Kids laughing as they stare with awe & wonder at bubbles flying in the air or see watermelon juice dripping down their cheeks and hands as they bite into another slice of it. Anything to break up the head space that what you're actually doing is posing for a photo and instead allow the mind to get lost in the activity while I snap away.
