“All Art Requires Courage.”-Anne Tucker
Tip of the Day: I wanted to elaborate on this quote, and explain how it affects me as a photographer. It is easy to gravitate towards poses that we know will produce a good image. However, it is important to push yourself to take risks. For example, with this engagement session shot I asked the bride to lie down on the ground. I figured it would either be amazing or look like sh*t. Taking these chances can be a very rewarding experience and keep you from succumbing to mediocrity.
How do you push yourself to expand your creative boundaries?

Quick Tip:Feed your creative juices! Creativity is like a muscle and needs to be exercised to stay in shape. Don’t just rely on photography to bring out your expressive side. Prioritize other activities that cultivate creativity so you are “in shape”. For me, dancing my butt off to house music does the trick. Petra Cross and I do it up at Kaskade!
I am beyond excited to share my story and the powerful role photography plays in my life.
Thanks for taking a moment to see what makes me tick and let me know if you have anything in common?
A special thanks to the incredibly talented Anton of Lorimerworks (he is a genius) and my beautiful subjects: Julia and Mark Kniesche, Tanya and Blake Wirht, Lauren Fletcher.

Quick Tip: Paint the full picture! When taking portraits don’t forget to include their native environment. Incorporating your subject’s surroundings creates a story to accompany your subject.
