You never know until you try. This time I arrived with a shot list of ideas for the kids. I figure if I learn how to direct kids, then I’ll be great at directing adults.
The Gorton kids arrived bright and early. They were great at helping each other and neither of them were shy.
I love how their mom brought their pet chicken.
Thank you to the Gorton kids for being so darn cute.

I bought a photography course from Creativelive of famous photographer, Zack Arias. During his introduction he said somethings that stood out to me.
We want to be the photographers that master the medium, not let it master over us.
Photography will take everything from you, it will take your time, money, family, your credit score, if you let it. Its’ a wild beats.
The Balance: We have families, we have lives. Photography is everything but no it isn’t, photography is stupid. At the end of the day, its just a job, we’re not curing cancer, but its the only thing I know how to do.
When my nephews visit they light up my world. There have been times where I am working on my computer and David the oldest says, “Monica, come play with me.” Or my mom ask, “Do you wanna put Jacob to sleep?” At those moments, what ever I am doing becomes meaningless. The past few weeks I have only been taking photos with my film camera of life. I felt like I needed a break from “photography”. I know a creative break will help improve my professional work.
Life is full of joy, we just have to stop and notice it.
A clip of Jacob. I love his reaction to the sunlight.It’s as if he is seeing it for the first time.
Ive been a video editor since 2002 and a photographer since 2009.
