Glimpse of Soul Photography bio picture
  • "People are so wonderful that a photographer has only to wait for that breathless moment to capture what he wants on film." - Weegee
    This is how I approach my photography--sit back, wait, and capture that beautiful moment. Those are the images that make me smile, those are the images I am most proud of, and those are the images I promise to capture for you.

Picture Perfect

One of the things I enjoy most about being a photographer is getting to watch families grow. I have known this family for a few years now and I’ve been privileged to photograph them on several occasions–as newborns, toddlers, and even for the birth of their youngest child (http://www.glimpseofsoulphoto.com/blog/?p=904). It’s a humbling and rewarding feeling to know that these images will be around for generations to come.

I also have to give mom a special round of applause for styling this session on all on her own. She did a great job putting the family’s outfits together. The kids were great; they are pros at getting their pictures taken by this point and were all smiles. I was *especially* proud of Dad who has also become an expert at giving the camera that million dollar smile! Great job, Everyone!

May your family bond & love continue to grow more & more beautiful with all the years to come.

Baby Love

I remember when my first child was born. It was such an exciting time. Finally, after waiting all those months, I had the baby I always wanted in my arms. A baby is the greatest blessing one can receive, that’s why photographing families with newborns is always such a treat. It’s a moment in time that goes by so quickly, but that changes you forever. Thank you for allowing me the privilege to capture some sweet moments from this time.

Confidence

If I had to describe myself as a high school senior I would say: optimistic, eager, impatient, and maybe somewhat rebellious. I don’t know that I would describe myself as confident though. Being a teenager, especially a teenage girl, can be such a tough time. You struggle to find an identity, a sense of independence, you’re finding your way in the world. That’s why when I meet teens who are confident and comfortable in their own skin, it makes me smile.

This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She is confident, smart, funny, and knows what she wants. I love that!

Good luck with your future, Lady! Although, I know, “luck,” will have nothing to do with your future success.

Time Flies

I know this is a cliche’ but I really can’t believe how fast time flies. The last time I saw this family their little boy was about 8 months old. They contacted me a few weeks ago to book another session but this time so I could capture images of their second soon too. I couldn’t believe so much time had passed already. I was excited to see them though because I remembered what a sweet family they are and what a happy baby their first son was at our session. Just as his big brother, baby brother is just as joyful & happy as his big brother. They are the sweetest little boys.

Having the privilege to photograph families as they grow and expand is one of the greatest privileges of being a photographer.

May the love & bond you share continue to grow as quickly and beautifully as your baby boys, Mom & Dad.

Baby Makes Four

I got to spend the afternoon with this family last week when I visited their home to photograph their new baby boy. He has come into a home full of love, life, and beauty. (Mom is a very talented decorator, I may add.) The excitement of a new baby brother for their beautiful son took me back to 8 years ago when my husband and I welcomed our second son into our home. I was so excited to have two boys; my son now had an automatic best friend for life. There is nothing like a house full of boy energy! Fear not, Mom & Dad are cool as cucumbers and prepared for all the fun to come. Listening to this family’s plans for the future and watching big brother try to hold his baby brother was so sweet and familiar.

Sending you lots of love and wishes for a blessed future with your beautiful baby boys. Thank you for the opportunity to capture such a special moment in time.
