I’m going out on a limb and have decided to enter my work into a contest hosted by Chic Critique called Photography Idol with a handful of other incredibly talented photographers. (eek!) The first challenge: submit one photograph that embodies yourself as a photographer (just one?!?). How do I say who am I with no words, just a single image? I immediately thought of this image. Of course, I still had to look through other sessions from the past year, pull my favorites and ask my husband”s opinion before I made a final decision – he chose this one too, by the way! And so here it is:

I had a blast planning this session and luckily mom let me run with the crazy idea when I suggested it to her! I had wanted to do a session inspired by Sara Evans’ song Suds In the Bucket:

“Our little pony-tailed girl grown up to be a woman
Now she’s gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin’ out on the line”

It turned out to be one of my favorite sessions to date.

I love, love love creating unique, fun and memorable sessions for my clients! If you are interested on booking a themed session for your next session – lets talk! They are SO much fun and unique to you!
