Why Photography?

Photography And Memories

Photography is a stress free way to capture the beauty you find in the world, at any one moment in time. Those fleeting moments may never happen again in that particular way. Think of a particular sunset that you remember as being gorgeous and once in a lifetime. Now imagine if you had a high quality photo of that sunset and every time you looked at that photo it brought back certain memories. Perhaps you were on your first date with your future husband or wife. Or maybe you were lying on the beach with your family on vacation. Photography gives us a permanent memory of so many wonderful times in our lives.

Feel Good Photos

I love when I look at a certain photos and it makes me laugh or smile. For example we have all seen the photos of our friends that we are dying to put on Facebook because they are embarrassing or funny. Or maybe those special photos of our kids or family that make us smile every time we see them. Without photography this would not be possible.

Picture Time Machine

I was looking at some photos of myself and my family from about 7 years ago, and it amazed me how much younger I looked in the photos. It makes you realize how fast our life on earth really passes and how we should enjoy every moment. It took me back almost like a time machine, to those events that I took part in, most I have I not even thought of in years. More than likely if it was not for those photos taking our mind back in time, we would forget a lot of special moments of our time here on earth.

Rewarded Photographer

It makes me really happy when I show one of my clients a photo I captured for them, and they just love it. They ask how large they can get it printed and how quickly they can get it. I dont get a chance to see how it looks on the wall most of the time, but knowing its there make me very rewarded. Most of the photos we get blown up and hang on the wall will be a part of our family and yours for the rest of our lives and possibly end up in possession of our grand kids one day. To think that I played a part in helping create a valuable family possession is very exciting for me.
