Leap of Faith

Have you ever felt like you were actually being pulled toward something? Well, I've always loved photography, but something inside me has begun to stir up like I've never felt before. It feels like there's a storm of creativity that is dying to get out. I'm ansi. I can't sit still. i can't shut my mind off. I have struggled with self confidence my whole photography career. I know what I want, and believe me it's WAY cool, but I've never fully believed in myself which has kept me from taking the leap of faith I would need to truly share my talent as a photographer. So many people call themselves a "photographer" that it has confused me and made me wonder what makes my images so special? All I can tell you is that I love what I do and I take this gift very seriously. I took a year off to spend with my son Benjamin. He is amazing and I've loved every minute of it. I've grown up a little bit and I feel like it might be my time to take a leap of faith. All I can really do is hope that the photos I take make people feel. Feel so happy that it makes them cry. Feel loved. Feel blessed. Just feel. If I can do that for even one person I am fulfilled. Here are a couple images of my new nephew. Some of the first images with my new camera and new outlook.

Your photographs are truly amazing! I realized that more than ever when you took Alyssa's Senior pics - they are all so beautiful I could not even decide which ones I wanted more!! So I still need to do that.... love you!
