Back in 2012 when I was a fresh-behind-the-ears photographer, the image below solidified my decision to include a black and white copy of all the images I presented to my clients in their gallery.

Finding Myself: Simply Authentic

In  these moments I found myself,  I found a new style. I found that I love regular moments that tell a story of a life; of celebrated relationships; fun activities.   I bonded with unexpected details that make a story warmer, more real.  An expression of concentration, or the spirit of how a child plays, or simply the comfort of two people in love holding hands.
