PHOTO YOGA

Today is a good day. Its summer. The birds are chirping outside my office window. I’m happy.  Pegasus had to go to his first veterinarian appointment today. It was a little traumatic for us both…I realized I was so nerved up about frightening him with the car, new places, scary doctor, etc.. that I was getting stabbing pains in my stomach. Just wait til I have kids. I cannot even imagine. But we both survived. He had to have a shot of antibiotics because he’s not feeling well. Hopefully he’ll be up to speed in a few weeks.

Now a few pictures to share. Her range of expression was beautiful.  I was telling her parents that I’m building up  stamina when it comes to "tiredness" after photographing a quick toddler.  I like to spend alot of time with my clients and often times I don’t stop shooting until my memory cards are full. After several hours I used to feel wiped out if I was high energy for that long with a little one.  But now I can actually go about the rest of my day after a shoot like that.  Clients have been commenting lately about the positions I sit in, stand in, or lay in while shooting.  Its like a yoga work out. I don’t realize I’m doing it!  I was telling the Mom yesterday at my session that everything around me disappears except whats happening inside my lens. I lose all self-awareness. I think I could literally wet my pants and not even notice.  Photography is one of few things where I can live completely in the moment and everything else just fades away.
