Slowly turning Photography as my career...

I photograph people, families, events, and weddings. Not because life always looks extraordinary, but because ordinary moments have a habit of becoming the ones we miss the most. A laugh that showed up too early. The way someone looks at another person when they think nobody's watching. Those things don't ask for much just someone paying attention.

One thing I've learned is that I prefer sessions that last longer than at least an hour. While many photographers offer thirty-minute shoots, I find that allowing 60 to 90 minutes creates a much more relaxed experience. It gives everyone time to settle in, explore different locations, change outfits if they want, and simply enjoy the moment without feeling rushed.

Ultimately, these photographs are all about what they mean and not about how I can become Instagram famous at their expense or something stupid like that. At the end of the day, this shoot is about them and it's about their life. I want them to remember it in a way that feels like them, their relationship, and this part of their life. I want them to be able to look back at these photos with deep nostalgia whenever they see them.

Make it less about yourself and more about them. With that mentality, I've found that it's so much more fulfilling creatively, photojournalistically, and in every other way. Going into every session with that mindset also makes photography much more sustainable over time.

I hope that resonates with you.
