Late 1999 I picked up a camera only wanting great photos of my baby coming soon. Pottery Barn kids had just opened and I loved their marketing photos. I took some classes at FCCJ (back then) and learned on slide film. I got excited learning and developing something I hoped would give me some great images along my lifetime never thinking I would do it for others. Our assignments were to shoot everything and I made my pals involuntary volunteers. Somehow people started wanting photos and I thought ok maybe that might be a fun little side gig. Here we are a few decades later and I still love shooting. I rarely get kids anymore but when I do it takes me right back to those early days. It always makes me smile to walk into a house and a see a print of some smiles I shot along their family journey. I love this shot of Colt and his horse. I hope you do too 🤍
