You Only Live Once

You Only Live Once

I don’t give enough credit to the people in my photographs. They are the reason why I look good as a photographer. I have been lucky. Bright, magical beings find me and we discover beautiful locations. I just mess around with aperture and shutter speed.

Photographing Jenevie was like working with a fashion model. She was everything I could hope for - and I often have anxiety over who will show up on any given day. Jenevie srrived with a wardrobe and a camera awareness that I don’t often see. I could have photographed her all day.

She inspired me. And her message is clear (to me). Don’t be shy. Own it. When you flirt with the camera you flirt with the world. Be happy. Share your joy. And that is my message to you. The next time you’re photographed, don’t hold back. You only live once.
