Why I Love Photographing

Hey Everyone! Thank you for being here if you’re new and welcome back if you’ve been here before!

Today I want to tell you a little about why I love photographing. I’ve always had somewhat of a fascination with cameras. From Polaroid to one time use when I was younger. I would line up my dolls and stuffed animals to take photos of them. I wanted to make them look the best that they could.

I love capturing moments and letting them last forever in a photo. This way people can look back on the moments they lived through to be able to re-live the joy they felt in those moments. They didn’t have to lose any of those moments and got to live them. Nothing lost and all gained.

Some of my favorite memories to capture are in live music. The crowd and the emotion behind them is some of the rarest emotion you can feel. I love catching crowd interaction and the moments where the bands may jump into the crowd or pull up unsuspecting fan from the crowd to sing with them. The moments where bands bring kiddos up and make their nights.

All in all I guess the reason that I love photographing is to be able to tell a story through photos. To be able to show off the happiness in someone’s face in a single moment. I love to freeze moments in time, showing off that there are always happy times even when it doesn’t feel like there can be. Freezing time to be able to look back on them is the reason I love photographing.

Hopefully you all have a wonderful day! Comment below and let me know what your favorite thing to do is and why you love it!
