Seeing the Light

Today I came across a great blog post by an amazing humanitarian photographer David deChemin. A few months back David fell 10 meters onto concrete, he`s lucky to survive this tragic fall though having multiple fractures he lost his ability to walk. Through it all David has not lost his winning spirit and optimism.

What I loved about David’s blog post was a fantastic quote he wrote while in rehab. . . [“My Goals Today…” “Same as everyday: Conquer the world.”] He also goes on to say how we tend to dream big and forget to take the daily steps to get where we want to be.

This really hit home for me, for one I realized how much I’ve gotten caught up in everyday life. Feeling as though I had far too much on my plate, though I hadn’t stopped to recognize the ways in which I`ve conquered the world. Once I started to do that I felt I had even more energy to move onto another project, my photography! With that said I’m excited to share with you my summer fun photos.



My cheeky monkey!


The catch light in this pic gives more depth to Jilly's dark brown eyes.

Daddy and Liam having fun.



Okay, I know his hats not on right but I absolutely love the colors in this shot.


MONKEY!

RAFFIE!



I love this pic of daddy and Liam, such fun! :)

My version of Rembrandt lighting using ambient light. (notice the triangle of light on Liam's left cheek)
