Being a good photographer means being patient.

| This was a surprise vow renewal. I waited, for what felt like hours, for this shot to unfold. I had to wait until everyone was visible in the shot and still keep the girls in focus. I only got one shot off while the girls dashed to their parents--but it was a keeper. |
Being a good photographer means being flexible.
 |
| Yes I'm belly down in a dusty, dirty, field-during ragweed season; that wasn't the hard part of this shot. My left elbow was also buried in a patch of stinging nettles. I knew it as soon as I planted it in the dirt. I kept it there for 18 frames because every shot was perfect. |
Being a good photographer means being a storyteller.

| Jordan was a girlie-girl. She was all about the bling and I loved the idea that she was tromping around the farm in four inch sparkly heels. |
Being a good photographer means being silly.
 |
| You should have seen the face I was making to get this reaction.... |
And being a good photographer means being fearless.
 |
| A firetruck was "hosing" off the VBS kids. Yeah I took the CANON out in that. To give you an idea how wet I was, I was shooting frames with my eyes closed because water was pouring down my face; I couldn't see anyway. Thank goodness for auto focus! |
So the next time someone tells you, "Wow! Your camera takes great pictures," tell them, "You know, this cake/cookie/pie/lasagna is fantastic! Your oven must be incredible."
Peace Out!
