Of course the trendy, cool stuff is fun. Photography can be so subjective, so conceptual- and I love that, I do. I was looking through an article the other day, and felt a little down on myself and my work. "Why doesn't my work look like a high fashion Vogue shoot?" A model with direct flash and grapes hanging out of her mouth standing on a chair at some French chateau. I felt myself start to slip into that treacherous pit of comparison.
Luckily, I've learned how to grip the sides and pull myself back up before I fall too far in.
I love looking at so many varieties of photography. It's a whole big world out there with incredible talent. But what it all comes back to, for me, is love. Family. Connection. Together. We're humans and that's what we are wired for.
This extended family session is just that. 4 generations, with the two that started it all, and their love.
At the end of our time, I think this is what matters. When my journey on earth is wrapping up, I hope to reach for the familiar hands of my loves and remember what all of this was for.
