Photojournalist!

Photojournalism is art of photography in which the photographs tell a story. (That is my definition, you have to check Webster for the real one.) I have come to admire the work of Denis Reggie, a well known celebrity/"Whole Foods" (ha, ha, ha) wedding photographer. He is a true photojournalist. Since I was at least 16, I have always loved having a camera in hands. I jumped at the chance to work at a Photo Studio when I was 19 years old. Sorry, stay with me...

Though I learned alot about processing/developing photographs, studio photography was never my cup of tea. My favorite images were always the ones that told a beautiful story in a natural setting. I'll have to look through my old film, but I have this classic shot where my 1 year old son stole an egg out of my 2 year old niece's easter basket. She is dressed head to toe in pink flowers and ribbons, with a wailing tearful scream on her face. Over the years this has always been my forte'. To forsee 'the moment' and to compose and capture it beautifully. I love to capture people in their true element, not forced smiles. So as I grow my business here at erinTphotography, expect to talk and laugh with your loved ones as we enjoy our session together. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, expect to enjoy your wedding day, knowing that I will be in the background preserving those special moments. Thanks to Denis Reggie for helping me rediscover my path and enjoy my talent. I'll leave you with a few of my photojournalistic favorites!
