She Greeted Me With Flowers

Every photo shoot that I have is a blessing. I say this a lot, but I meet some wonderful people through photography. This quote by Annie Leibovitz is one of my favorite photography quotes:

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.

Photography..to me..is intimate. It’s as intimate as any other creative outlet that involves a relationship and a sense of trust between two or more people. 

It’s wonderful to do work you love with people who carry and share their light with others, and greet you with flowers. 

We had Ms. Carter's shoot in my garden and luckily the weather held up. We had fun. It was like old girlfriends getting together to hang out but with one behind a camera. Here a few of the photographs from the shoot that I wanted to share with you. Enjoy!
