When Chic Critique announced their latest contest, Photography Idol… I was intrigued. What an amazing opportunity for one photographer. As I thought about it more and more, I started to ask the question as to why that photographer couldn’t be me? And so, I decide to put myself out there. I decided to enter the contest myself and just see where this might take me.
The First Step: To submit an image that best represents my style and skill. I think what I love most about photography and my clients are those little memories captured that you absolutely never want to forget. Its the emotion behind the moment that inspires me as a photographer. I just cannot get enough of those tiny little toes that kick up in the air while she takes her bottle, or the special first bond of a father and son as he blows raspberries on his tummy. I love watching the magic of a ring-around-the-roses game as little curls fly through the air, all the love behind a child’s kiss to their mother’s cheek, and every single moment in between. It’s a little sister’s secret and a fit of giggles that makes me absolutely love what I do.
Ellen - So very proud of you and excited for you! This is my very favorite photo…at least of the photos that don’t include our precious grandson. 😉 I may be biased (ok, I AM biased, I know…)but I think you’ve got a great shot at this. You are one talented and engaging photographer. A key combination, because even if you know how to capture the moment technically, you can’t capture those moments without creating the environment for them to happen. I vote Kate Robinson for Photography Idol…hand’s down!
B - Beautiful pic! I love you and I am SO proud of you. Can’t wait to see where your talent takes us.
Elise (Gigi) - You have so many beautiful photographs I can see why you would have a hard time deciding which photo to submit! It’s very difficult to be subjective about your own work of art and this is definitely…A Work of Art! A judge will “know it when they see it” Sometimes they don’t even really know what they are looking for! Just keep putting it out there! xoxo
