Brown Sparrow Studio

once in a while i look back through the albums

of photos i've taken. i think as a photographer it helps

me be to identify and define my style and helps

remind me of the kind of photos i want to deliver to my clients.

i've figured out that the photos i love the most,

the ones i'm drawn to and am most proud of are the ones

that show emotion, have movement or

intensity in them. i love real moments. moments that aren't posed, but

rather captured almost as if the person i'm photographing doesn't

even know i'm there.

i have always loved black and white photography.

take away the color and the image becomes one that could

have been taken today or 30 years ago.

i've pulled out a bunch of photos that speak to me.

some are client work and some are personal.
friends and family probably groan when i pull out my camera,
but hey~ it's my "thing".

for as long as i can remember i've seen the world
like i'm looking through the lens of a camera.

i hope you enjoy looking at what are some of my personal favorites.

be in the profound value that photos have

long after the days are gone.

*if you haven't taken out your camera for awhile, or had someone take

photos for you, you should do it.

and then, please, please print some.
because we all have cameras on our cell phones people are
taking more photos but again, take the time to print some.

i believe in the profound value that photos have
long after these days and years are gone.

my beautiful niece. she's a cat person but was laughing at our dog.

this friend of mine rarely cries. she told me the emotions of her wedding day caught her off guard. the way her dear old dad is holding her hand gets me.

laughing so hard you have to lean in.

separated by a generation, bound by a fierce love.

when you trust your dad to keep you safe.

this day was a long time coming and it was very special to be the one to capture these intimate moments for them.

i can still hear this man's laugh. he was a storyteller extraordinaire.

my girl

so much to learn.

these two men holding hands were the best of friends. they saw each other through their hardest days, the loss of their beloved wives. this was on one of those days. they are all together now, in heaven and they are missed something fierce.
