I love to photograph to tell an honest story, but that doesn’t mean I won’t eliminate what might be in the photo that will distract and not add to how I want the photo to feel. And the business of WHAT to add or eliminate, and HOW MUCH, might differentiate me from all the other photographers out there. When it comes to hiring a photographer, there’s a whole lot more than money! You need to know something about what the photographer sees as beautiful or necessary. :)

“If the photographer is interested in the people in front of her lens, and if she is compassionate, it’s already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.”
