The challenge, create something fresh in 10 minutes. Short Street Photographers in Rockville Md.



Workshop continues...Each time I approached a new model I tried to focus on creating something fresh without having the benefit of my studio, my amazing lights, and gardens etc. As I worked, I felt so honored to have other photographers ask if they could shadow me and have me explain everything I was thinking and doing. Several asked if I would consider teaching workshops in the future. Humm? What do you think???

Who are these cute kids? Short Street Photographers in Rockville Md.


My goal was

to put myself in situations that took me out of my comfort zone and see what I could create on the fly. I had the pleasure of attending a workshop

with renowned photographer Clay Blackmore just outside of D.C. for the last four days. So, there I was outside the arts center when I saw this darling girl with crazy sunglasses and hat. I asked if I could shoot her. Little did I know when I saw two other little children walking up the street, they made up a set of triplets. Giving myself less than 15 minutes I was able to get wonderful portraits of the triplets. How lucky that my first challenge was so rewarding. I love these portraits and just wish I had more time to spend with these adorable children.
