My favorite picture
I was asked by another blog doing a feature on me to submit my favorite picture and it got me thinking..
My FAVORITE?? I'm supposed to pick one? Do I pick my technically best image? My biggest seller? The one I get the most comments about? What about the ones with more personal meaning... how could I love any photo more than the one of my baby, still red and screaming, just seconds after she entered the world? Or my oldest, beaming with pride as she shows off her latest blue ribbons on awards day at school? Or my wild child, the blonde in the middle, who always finds a way to make a statement, whether it be with a song & dance routine or her unflappable pink boots... I have enough pictures of her in all her glory to fill my entire hardrive and then some!
I thought this predicament would be the perfect way to open this blog, because it really is all about the pictures... and the only reason I am in business is because I have so many favorite pictures for so many different reasons, and my goal is not only to find new favorites for myself, but to create images that can be your favorites. I love to hear parents say "That is SO her!" because it means my efforts were sucessful. I connected with the child enough to allow her to relax and release her real personality, then, in that fleeting moment, captured it forever.
And hopefully, some of my images can become your favorites. But I'll never ask you to pick just one! :)
p.s. in case you were curious, this is the one I chose. My two oldest, almost two years ago in a moment that captures them perfectly, in more ways than one!
