SENIOR PORTRAITS: Cara

Over Thanksgiving I got to spend a week with Cara and her wonderful family.  We managed to shoot some senior photographs in the woods where we were camping. 

Cara and I have been friends since we were babies. I am grateful that I have made a true friend in her! She has a kind heart and her love for others is obvious! I LOVE the shots we got together. I think her confidence, beauty and strength all shine through clearly. Thanks for letting me photograph you! So beautiful, right?!?!

Seriously, how cool is she?!?!

Thanks to Cara's awesome brother for grabbing this shot of us. 

Quest For Beauty...

"I have a compulsion to capture, to hold moments in my hand for future examination to make stories out of them. Perhaps, this is what it means to be an artist- the desire to create beauty and stories out of all the threads of our lives" - Andrea Scher

Almost always, what drives my adventure of photography

is the quest for beauty.

There is something within me that is so naturally

drawn to the miracle that is lines,

shapes,

proportions,

textures,

and colors.

Often this involves frolicking in the woods.

Spending time in nature is a gift.

It’s a time to refresh,
reenergize,

refuel

and remember.

When time is cherished, nature manages to nurture-

nurture my sense of wonder

and my humility.

I know I am in the presence of the ancient forces;

I am in the company of magic.

And that, just might be the most potent gifts of all. ;)

While spending a week in the woods,

I found this perfect and breath-taking tree.

These photographs do not do it justice!
