Beginnings

A contest ran by SHOOTStyle, a group of New England Photographers, asked for photo submissions from fellow Photographers illustrating the word "beginnings" and what it meant to them.

The assignment was open to all professional, semi-pro and rank amateur photographers in the New England area.

My entry won third place! I'm psyched!

Cherish Those You Love

I recently read an article by Deb Schwedhelm that really touched my heart. And it makes me want to ask you, my dear reader, what holds you back from getting your portraits done with your family?

I would say, "I hate being in front of the camera," I'm sure other folks would say things like they needed to loose weight, or that they don't want family portraits done in the winter so they want to wait till spring. Whatever the excuse...you must realize that there is NO perfect time to have portraits done with your family!

Too many people lead lives that are so busy, that they don't take the time to slow it down a bit and have some quality time with the people whom they love. You may not appreciate having a family portrait done now. But what if you did and 10 years down the road it was one of your child's most cherished possessions? Would you appreciate it then?

Before someone's tomorrow has been taken away, cherish those you love. Appreciate them today.
