WW: Reminiscing

I must admit, my first passion is and will always be nature. There's nothing quite like escaping the noise of the world for a brisk stroll through the woods or a quiet moment on top of a mountainside to be reminded that there is a greater being in charge. It stirs my soul and speaks directly to my heart.

But as much as I love my time communing with nature, I also love the rush of a great portrait shoot. Seizing tender moments that may otherwise go unnoticed...


“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” -Aaron Siskind

As I've been laid up sick I've had time to go through some of my photos and reminisce. Photography is a powerful medium and I'm so thankful for it's presence in my life.

I still have much to learn when it comes to my camera, but I hope that whatever level you are on the spectrum, you are making a conscious effort to capture life's fleeting moments.
