Recommended: Personal narrative about being adopted

At the heart of what I do as a family photographer, is capturing the essence of a family's moments together, so they'll remember it forever. Every session is special to me, but this latest family session was truly close to my heart.

Bernice is someone I've known for years. When I was doing respirator therapy a few years ago, we worked together. She always had a smile on her face and is the sweetest and kindest person ever.

A few weeks ago, she posted that she was finally able to adopt her sweet little girl, Sylvia. Bernice and her husband, Kris, had struggled to have their own child, but weren't able to conceive. Sylvia came into their lives at a time when she was truly needed. My heart almost exploded with the joy I had for her. Immediately, I knew I had to gift her a family session. …show more content…

I wanted to get some photographs of it in the field near the studio. Sylvia was eager to jump on Beauty, and they were some of the best photographs from this session.

My heart swelled as I saw the interaction between this new family. Their story, Sylvia and Beauty as well as the glitter made the entire session truly magical. You can see the love these three have for each other, and these parents couldn't keep their eyes off their little girl.

This little girl is truly loved and the couple has said that she's an answered prayer for them as I'm sure they are to her. This little princess enjoys dance, dressing up and helping mom bake sweets in the kitchen. She loves to cuddle her parents, and all of their joy was evident in this family photographer session. I couldn't have been any happier to see my friend so happy with her family and be able to capture these memories for

  • Personal Narrative: How Photography Changed My Life

    Focus, Capture, Develop, and Take another shot are hard concepts to grasp while growing up and maturing. Throughout every obstacle that I have faced whether personally, academically or socially I have had to remember to apply these qualities to my life daily. As a child the one person a girl naturally gravitates toward to be her protector and supporter is her father. I, on the other hand, did not have that experience with mine. My transition from childhood to adulthood began at the age of seven, when I was placed into an unfamiliar and chaotic situation. I had to learn how to capture the essence of life’s gifts in order to cope and thrive. My mom had decided that we would be moving to Texas from California, for a job opportunity she received

    Any photograph I take I want one to dissect their own imagination, searching within themselves the story the picture tells, to draw out ones imagination. To taste the substance of what the photograph is, what they hear and feel from the image. To not just look at the picture, but to actually see it, and understand it under their own terms. I want someone to look at my art and wonder, what’s just up those stairs, just beyond the ajar door, or what magic is at hand.

  • Photography Is The Main Source Of Communication

    1249 Words  | 3 Pages

    Photography has created an outlet for the masses to story tell. It has a way of speaking without words like most art forms and is a manner of expression in itself. To eradicate photography from humans would be equivalent to taking away a limb from humankind. Our society has grown an immense amount of dependency on it. Photography has become almost a daily menial task such as brushing your teeth; where we must take pictures of the things we deem important or equally unimportant, even more so with the invention of social media outlets such as Instagram and Snapchat, where photography is the main source of communication between people who use them. Susan Sontag offers the basis of what taking pictures can undertake in both our daily lives and moments that are not part of our daily lives, such as travel. Traveling to places where one is not accustomed can flare pent up anxiety. A way to subdue that anxiety could be through taking pictures, since it’s the only factor that we have total control over in a space where we don’t have much, or, any control of our surrounding environment. On the other hand, taking photos can also be a tool of power in the same sense as it allows for it to be a defense against anxiety. With the camera in our hands, we have the power to decide who, what, where, when, and why we take a picture. This in turn also gives the person who took the picture power over those who later analyze the photos, letting them decide the meaning of the photo individually, despite the intended or true meaning.
