Always growing as an artist | Colorado family photographer
Posted on August 25, 2009
As an artist there is always room for improvement and growth. You must continuously work on your craft so you can remain inspired. Well over the next 3 weeks I am fortunate enough to be taking part in a fabulous creative workshop with a photographer I greatly admire. I cannot begin to express how excited am about this opportunity. As part of this workshop I will be challenged with several different assignments and some of them I will be posting on here. I share them with you because I believe it is such a honor to be asked to photograph your families and because you share your special moments with me it is only fair that I share my moments with you; both as a mom and an artist.
Our first assignment was one which most photographers dread; “The Self portrait” (Da da da…… do you hear the haunting music?). At first just the thought of it made my stomach do flip flops. I hate being in front of my lens. In fact, I think that is one of my traits that makes me such a great photographer; I understand that others feel the same way too so I work at helping them to feel comfortable and relaxed in front of my lens. Well I have to admit it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, after I began snapping the images the artist in me took over and my self conscious self took a hike. In the end it turned out to be a lot of fun!
So without further ado I present me without a camera attached to my face.
Love seeing a different side of you. Seems like you opened up a little window to yourself this way. Love these!
gorgeous! you’re gorgeous, the images are gorgeous–and so full of your style.
Love, love, love these pictures. While I appreciate the clown nose and the bubble gum self-portraits, these are more open and look exactly like you!
Beautiful! How gorgeous are you!!! SPs are hard for sure. Good for you for stepping out & taking a chance!
You were sooo creative with this! Fantastic job
Love them!
