Kids are one of my favorite things to photograph.  They are so unpredictable in their actions and the speech.  This provides for a fun and adventurous time.  Plus they are just so darn cute!  Especially these little kiddos.  Both these shoots were done a year ago in anticipation of the launch of Soulshots Photography.  I told you it has been a long time coming!  Enough talking…here is a sneak peak of a few of my favorites!

In the beginning, I started my job as a wedding photographer for experience.  It is like jumping in cold water to wake you up.  You kinda just get thrown in and BAM, steaks are high, no messing up allowed.  Thankfully,  I have not made any major mistakes at this point and hopefully won’t, but it is definitely a fast paced learning environment in which to hone my skills.  It is a lot of time on my feet, laying on the ground, climbing on things, all for that perfect shot.  It can be exhausting and I had thought that weddings were too high maintenance and caused too much anxiety, and thus I didn’t really see it as a long term thing.  While all the above descriptions ring true, I have really come to love shooting weddings.  Good, free food aside, it is really special to be a part of such a memorable day for so many people.  It is such a joyous day for the happy couple, and for their families.  After most weddings, I leave feeling rejuvenated in my love for my wonderful relationship and for my wonderful family.  I always find myself reflecting on the love that is shared in both these relationships and how lucky I am to have so many wonderful people in my life, much less,  a part of my family.  It has turned out to be a great experience not only for my love of photography, but also for my soul and my gratitude for all the people in my life!  Here are a few of my favorite shots from over the summer.
