the photographer's prayer

Dear Lord, as I bring my subject into focus & prepare to make each portrait, never let me forget that I'm creating treasures for a family, a keepsake for loved ones. Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others, that I may draw out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts.

Help me to be an artist, collecting the beauty of every soul, the glow of youth, the gentleness, the laughter or tears of each life that is precious in Thy sight. Deeper than a means of livelihood, give me the perspective to see my photographer's art as a service to others, making life richer and more memorable.

And, dear Lord, between the lights and shadows, the ups and downs and the rolling years, keep me from getting out of focus or off center, so that my life and work may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment. amen.

that line about 'drawing out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts'...well...i immediatly thought of this recent favorite of dr.z and her girly number three :o)

some product

ignore my 'product photography' ...it's lacking for sure, but that's 'not really my thing' ...as bennett would say.

a couple random orders i thought to take pics of before delivering...

 

 

   

 

and these gallery wrapped canvases from a wwwhhile back, but i've never posted them...

 

i think that one was a 16x24 and this next one a 16x20, but i'm too lazy to go back & look it up ;o)

 

i'll have to do a better job of photographing orders as they come in so i can share, but i wouldn't hold my breath if i were you ;o) i have a history of lack-of-following-through when it comes to blog intentions.

four :o)

this is a summer session that i've been revisiting to create a coffee table book for a mom of four little people. it's been an experience & is wrapping up...i'm likely to be as-if not more-excited about the arrival of the book as she is!

i'm terrible about sharing sessions here...i should do better, but since i didn't post any of these here...

   

   

 

 

...just a few. man...can't wait for the book!
