Since living in Kennebunkport Maine, I have been dreaming of photographing someone down by the sea. For some reason, the light here is so beautiful and soft as it sets behind the rocky coast! My sister-in-law came to visit and that meant she was my model. Kelsie has such a beautiful heart and face and I could not wait to take pictures of her. If I got a dollar for every person that told me they are not photogenic, I would be rich. ☺ Secretly, I kind of like it when people tell me this because they seem to take direction well and they are always happily surprised that they can take great pictures.
I am very comfortable taking pictures of others, but as soon as I get in front of the camera, I feel vulnerable…… its good for me to feel this because that is how most people feel. I think that half the battle of being a photographer is making people feel comfortable and beautiful and I am honored that they trust me to do that. I love my job and my sister-in-law.
Kelsie, you are so photogenic and beautiful! Xoxo
