2010 ~ My personal favorites…

December 30, 2010

These are photos that I am grateful to have taken. They are my personal work. Photos of my kids, my family and things that move me in general.
There are a few here that are deeply personal. You will know them when you see them. But I felt that if I’m posting what moves my own heart, then I must include them. They are beautiful to me. They are real.
Warning: There are WAY more than 10

With love – from my Juju!

Peter’s gravesite – many of his friends may never be able to come here to pay their respects. I don’t mean to blow anyone away – it is simply where Peter’s body has been laid to rest. Of course HE is in heaven.

2010 Favorite Photos… Relationships

December 28, 2010

Ok I must admit that this would probably be my favorite category! Don’t get me wrong… I LOVE photographing kids and high school seniors, but for me, I am completely moved by capturing the beauty of relationships!

Sisters and brothers, the look between a child and their daddy or mommy. This is what magic I LOVE to capture. Those little expressions and glances that make the world and our relationships so beautiful!

Photographing relationships is VERY special to me! I know the value of what those images contain! Having lost my husband, I can’t tell you how grateful I am that I took so many photographs and captured priceless moments for my children to always help them remember their dad.

Now, as I photograph others, I consider it an honor and actually sort of a calling to really pay attention and try to capture the expressions, glances, giggles, and little looks that mean the world to a family! My heart seeks that in every shoot. I love when a photograph shows the love and emotions so evident in our family lives.

So here are my favorite “Relationship” images for 2010

2010 Favorites

December 27, 2010

At the end of each year I enjoy going through my photos and picking my favorite images from all the different shoots I have had.

So by each category, I try to narrow my favorites down to 10 photos – which is not easy.

Doing this really helps me to see how I’ve grown as a photographer. It also keeps me in touch with what my style leans toward in photography itself. It’s a nice way to take a look at where I am in this wonderful journey.

So beginning with Children – here are my favorite Top 10 images from 2010

I hope you enjoy!

    Pati – Your photographs are absolutely amazing and so stunning! You have an eye for this and you are really blessed for your gift. I love the picture of the kids above the pictures of Julia, Alyssa, and Colin! I love the “BELIEVE” sign and the picture you have of Peter there and your rainbow tree ornament. I also love that tall tree you have in the living room! It looks like you had a beautiful Christmas. May God bless you!
