Recommended: Personal narrative about being adopted

At the heart of what I do as a family photographer, is capturing the essence of a family's moments together, so they'll remember it forever. Every session is special to me, but this latest family session was truly close to my heart.

Bernice is someone I've known for years. When I was doing respirator therapy a few years ago, we worked together. She always had a smile on her face and is the sweetest and kindest person ever.

A few weeks ago, she posted that she was finally able to adopt her sweet little girl, Sylvia. Bernice and her husband, Kris, had struggled to have their own child, but weren't able to conceive. Sylvia came into their lives at a time when she was truly needed. My heart almost exploded with the joy I had for her. Immediately, I knew I had to gift her a family session. …show more content…

I wanted to get some photographs of it in the field near the studio. Sylvia was eager to jump on Beauty, and they were some of the best photographs from this session.

My heart swelled as I saw the interaction between this new family. Their story, Sylvia and Beauty as well as the glitter made the entire session truly magical. You can see the love these three have for each other, and these parents couldn't keep their eyes off their little girl.

This little girl is truly loved and the couple has said that she's an answered prayer for them as I'm sure they are to her. This little princess enjoys dance, dressing up and helping mom bake sweets in the kitchen. She loves to cuddle her parents, and all of their joy was evident in this family photographer session. I couldn't have been any happier to see my friend so happy with her family and be able to capture these memories for

  • Why We Take Pictures By Susan Sontag Summary

    Photography allows us to maintain memories and relish them whenever we desire. Although some advocates might argue that people are no longer enjoying experiences instead taking more pictures, in the essay, “Why We Take Pictures”, by Susan Sontag, she conflates that photography can be used as a defense against anxiety and a tool of empowerment. I agree with Sontag on the significance of photographs and how it allows us to store a part of our extended relatives so we are able to hold on the memories of family. Therefore, we must appreciate how photography allows us to manage anxiety, express feelings and remember our loved ones.

    Any photograph I take I want one to dissect their own imagination, searching within themselves the story the picture tells, to draw out ones imagination. To taste the substance of what the photograph is, what they hear and feel from the image. To not just look at the picture, but to actually see it, and understand it under their own terms. I want someone to look at my art and wonder, what’s just up those stairs, just beyond the ajar door, or what magic is at hand.

    In times, we often see things, but we don't really capture what is beyond it. In some cases, there are people who are artistic and are prone to see what other's cannot visualize. Every individual has a talent which can be expressed and processed differently. Something you see can mean entirely divergent things to someone else;for example, some may see thing's that may seem simple, but in the eyes of an artist, it can be perceived with a whole new definition, dimension, and a potentially new discovery. As a photographer, my view of the world, can be skewed towards looking at everyday objects as potential art, but it wasn't always like that.
