This is not the most convenient thing considering I have to be up in about 5 hours. It could have something to do with the fact that I slept about 11 hours last night and am not all that sleepy. It could also have something to do with a thought that has been weighing heavy on me lately.<div> The statement comes in several different forms, but it usually goes something like this. "I don't look good in pictures.", "I'm not photogenic.", or "I'm not pretty."</div><div> I hear it all the time. It makes me so sad! Somewhere along the line we have painted this picture to ourselves of what "pretty" or photogenic is and we tell ourselves that we don't fit that profile. Either someone has said something to us that has damaged us or at some point we deemed ourselves unworthy to be photographed. Now, while this disturbs me as a photographer, it <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">disturbs</span> me even more as a human. The fact is that we are not here by happenstance. We are not here by mistake. </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">For you created my inmost being; </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">you knit me together in my mother's womb. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>What an amazing acknowledgement that we see here in the psalms! This story that we call life is an intricate one that has so many dimensions and we have been woven into it's very being. </div><div> I remember in my youth I hated having my picture taken. Honestly I can't really remember why now. There are many photos I look back on though and there is no evidence of me being a part of those memories. I SO wish that wasn't the case. I won't ever be able to go back and recreate them though. I also have photos that I do have of myself with people that are no longer with us and while I may not have been thrilled with the way I looked, I know that there will never be another opportunity to be photographed with these people again. I am SO thankful that I have those! </div><div> I understand the reality that some people will never let this concept sink into their hearts. Honestly it sucks, cause it means that there has been so much damage to their spirit that they will probably live the rest of their lives thinking that they are unworthy. There comes a point when you can't plead with people anymore because the more you do the more they will figuratively plug their ears as they drill into their minds that they are unacceptable to be seen. I have seen it enough that I suppose this is just one last plea for people to see my heart on this and for them to hopefully be honest with themselves.</div><div> Take away every concept of what attractive is for a moment. A photograph isn't meant to capture what people have etched in their minds to be beautiful. A photograph is simply meant to capture life.....and life without any expectation in and of itself is beautiful.</div><div><br /></div><div>Please, allow yourself to be a part of it!</div><div><br /></div><div>~J</div>Jharderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02978972965846475342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608264209918301516.post-69371230233553057012010-09-28T19:36:00.000-07:002010-09-28T19:57:42.005-07:00Evan & EricaSo I'm a little behind on the blog front. I know I know! Lay off me, I'm busy! Just kidding. I'm excited to finally get some of these on the blog. Evan and Erica were referred to me by some mutual friends and, I must say, I could not be more thrilled. These two are some of the kindest and laid back people I've met.<div><br /></div><div>If you're not familiar, The Lesters is a music group that is made up of members of Evan's family. In fact, Evan still plays drums for them. This sign that used to reside in front of their old music store has been there so long that it has become a permanant fixation on this wall. So naturally we needed to capture a few shots underneath the sign.</div><div> <br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4511.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4511.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4515.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4515.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /></div><div>Just down the street was this amazing church. As some of you may know, I'm kind of a fan of big cool doors such as this one. I couldn't resist!</div><div><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4568.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4568.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /></div><div>Erica kept asking me when they would get to kiss! True sign of a love bird. ;) <br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4578.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4578.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4598.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4598.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /></div><div>So I can't remember the whole story, but if I remember correctly, Evan always comes equipt with a toothpick. I love people who want their photos to be personal to their unique quirks.</div><div><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4614.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4614.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /></div><div>One last moment stolen amognst the trees......<br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4632.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4632.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /></div><div>....a quick outfit change and then off too.....</div><div><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4695.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4695.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /></div><div>On the way there we saw these awesome little carts lined up on the side of the rode.

After chatting with Angie for a few minutes I came to find out that their engagement session shared the night of three other events that night. A concert, a football game, and a baseball game. Needless to say we had a few challenges, but we worked it out. Between the blue skies and the sunset we had some pretty great photo opportunities ahead of us.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4215.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4215.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4224.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4224.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-4241.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-4241.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Since Angie and Chris are originally from out of town, but have spent several years of their life, while in school, living in St. Louis they wanted to make sure they got a good local landmark as a backdrop.

I have a lot of sessions to come, but for now I will share with you a very wonderful and entertaining family. I had such a fun night and as always what started as a photo session ended in a time of hanging out with friends. This is why I love what I do.

Unlike most of my friendships we became close...fast. When I met these two they were expecting their first child. A HUGE adjustment in life after being married for such a short time. They were excited, obviously, just like every new parent. Jess had pictures of the baby bump and Adam would boast about the fact that he would soon be a dad. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-1832.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-1832.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It wasn't long after knowing these two that I got a message from Adam saying : "Found out today that we lost Baby Trotter, appreciate the prayers." What a blow, like sucker punch to the stomach. Obviously myself as well as an abundance of other friends and family began to pray for these two....and pray hard. Jessica had a LONG road ahead of her physically as they both did emotionally. After the loss of baby Trotter, Adam bought a necklace for Jessica that they designed. On one side is engraved the date they found out they were pregnant as well as the date of the surgery. On the other side it says "baby Trotter, we love and miss you, love mommy and daddy". Attatched to the necklace is an angel and the march birth stone.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-1969.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-1969.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">I know that there are so many people out there in the world that know what these two have had to go through, but I can't even imagine. It's heartbreaking to know that your close friends, who you love, have to go through something so devistating. There comes a point when your words aren't going to do anything. All you can do is pray and let them know that you will be there. It's such a helpless feeling, but I know that these two feel the love of the people around them knowing they have people they can lean on in this hard time.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-1979.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-1979.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">As I've grown to know these two better something I can tell without question is how much Adam is in love with his wife. I asked the two of them some questions about their relationship and this is what Jessica had to say abou<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">t Ada</span>m:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">"I have never had anyone (a man) be by my side (besides God) as much as Adam. During this time he truly showed me unconditional love, "in sickness and in health". He went to all the doctors appointments with me and never once made me feel like he would rather be doing anything else besides being right by my side.....In the past 6 months Adam has truly learned how to put me before himself. Unfortunately, on March 1st, 2010 I have never seen so much pain in anybodies eyes as I did my husbands when the doctor said " I am sorry to say there is no heartbeat coming from your baby". With this pain I have seen Adam grow into the man/husband I know God set out for Adam to be and I have seen Adam and I's love not only grow much more for each other but also for our Creator!" </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-1993.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-1993.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-2121.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-2121.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Every week Jessica has had to go get her blood work done. She has had to receive a form of chemo treatment. There was even a night when I went over to their house to spend time with friends and it ended up in a trip to the Emergency Room. Yes this woman is strong. She is one of the tiniest people I know, but have no doubts, this woman is STRONG.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-1999.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-1999.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">When I asked Adam what he admired most about Jessica as she went through all of this he answered:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I admire her strength both physically, and spiritually!

While at times they are down, as ANYONE would be, their spirit has shown through incredibly. The times I have laughed the hardest in the last 6 months have been with these two. Even in their trials they know how to bring a smile to the faces of the people around them.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-2035.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-2035.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Some time back Adam wrote a song called <i>Trials</i> before all of this had happend.

This is a story that is bigger than anyone can understand that you have a part in. I would never wish what has happened to you upon anyone, but the fact is that you are going to play a HUGE role in some people's lives. I can't even imagine what God's plan is for you. Whatever it is, I know it is big. The time that I have known you two has been short, but I do love you guys and am so very grateful for your friendship.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Love & Peace to you both!</div>Jharderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02978972965846475342noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608264209918301516.post-86938525804247649652010-07-16T19:16:00.000-07:002010-07-16T19:31:29.805-07:00Vince&Amanda Preview<div style="text-align: center;">There's no question.

I've known these two since my freshman year of college. So almost 9 years now. Man how time flies by quickly. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lately I've been thinking about a new idea. I thought it would be a great idea to offer a photoshoot for couples who have been married a few years and maybe have gotten overwealmed by life and don't get a chance to get alone. I think that every couple should be able to have a couple hours to set aside work, chores, taking care of family and just be alone. And why not look great while doing that! So when I mentioned the idea to Katie she was ALL for it. Here are some of my faves from the shoot.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=SmithAnniversaryshoot-9451.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/SmithAnniversaryshoot-9451.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">By the way, this week is their 8th anniversary!!!!</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=SmithAnniversaryshoot-9511.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/SmithAnniversaryshoot-9511.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Nathan is one of the elders and worship pastor at his church.

It was the first time that I've ever worked with a band so it was a bit of a challenge for me in the sense that I had to think differently about the way I worked with them. I'm totally excited about where these guys are going. As I walked around with them I overheard their conversations about other bands, possible venues they had booked, and ideas they had for the future. I love when people are in their element and get excited about it. Here is one shot from the shoot that I'm pretty excited about actually. I'll have more to come later.<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-0386.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-0386.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>Jharderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02978972965846475342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608264209918301516.post-77780804183734709802010-03-24T20:40:00.000-07:002010-03-24T21:18:48.677-07:0025th Anniversary Vow Renewal<div style="text-align: center;">So I have now taken photos for this family on several occasions and I must say that it is never a dull moment. I always have a blast. Sometimes I feel like I'm just part of the party instead of actually working. It makes my job SO much more fun! This day was no exception. A few weeks ago on one of our rare beautiful Sunday afternoons Dave and Brenda renewed their vows after, yes, 25 years! I love that. I have had so much fun going through these photos that I wanted to share a few with you.<br /><br />Of course my favorite place to start.....CAKE!!! And aren't these the most fun cakes you've seen?!<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-8906.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-8906.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-8904.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-8904.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />A few quick bridal shots before the ceremony.<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-8921.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-8921.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-8940.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-8940.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Renew them vows!<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-9365.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-9365.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />When you've got 25 years invested in a person there is bound to be some emotion. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-9320.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-9320.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-9353.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-9353.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />A toast from their daughter and son-in-law.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=Untitled-2-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/Untitled-2-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Bling!<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=Untitled-1-4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/Untitled-1-4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-9438.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-9438.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />If you don't remember last year I had the opportunity to take their grandson's 1 year photos.

I couldn't go any longer without picking up a camera. I didn't have a subject to shoot, but that didn't matter. I just had to push that shutter. Today I gave myself a bit of a challenge. No auto focus. For someone like me auto focus is a must. Today I left my house without my glasses which enhanced the challenge all the more. (No worries friends. I'm not completely blind) So here we go...<br /><br />where the rubber meets the road<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-8840.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-8840.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />As I was walking through the neighborhood I stumbled across this little bush.

Well it is a start of a new year and there has been some exciting things going on. Most of you may not know that I recently went to a photography workshop. Now when I say that I feel as though I'm almost cheapening the experience I had this weekend. You see this was not just any workshop. This was a workshop with THE <a href="http://www.jeremycowart.com/">Jeremy Cowart</a>. I know I know! I can not believe it either. Still pinching myself on this one.<br /><br />Before God directed my path into the realm of photography I knew that my life was going to involve something creative. I didn't know what, how, or in what capacity. During my last year of college I fell in love.....with photography that is. For the first time I felt passionate about something. I actually wanted to learn. I was never too much of an eager student until this point.<br /><br />During my class my teacher, and friend, the incredibally talented <a href="http://www.lisahesselphotography.com/">Lisa Hessel</a>, showed us Jeremy's web site. I was floored. I was hooked. Imagine finding someone who was dying of thirst. They know that something can remedy this suffering, but do not know the solution. Then they are introduced to water for the first time. That's how I felt. I found something that satisfied the creative side of my brain and suddenly I couldn't get enough. I continued to search and search for photograph upon photograph. So when I discovered that Jeremy Cowart was doing a workshop I was elated! It was so much of split decision that I am still in shock that I made it and actually attended.<br /><br />Why don't I give you a break and give you a bit of a visual of how the weekend looked. <br /><br />Of course as soon as we got there the introductions got rolling. I think we were all just so giddy!<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=Untitled-1-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/Untitled-1-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />The first night we introduced ourselves, told a bit about our stories and what brought us there, and then Jeremy explained his journey. He then went on to show us some of his work and gave a little background to some of his photos.<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-0006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-0006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />The next day he showed us how he would work with models. We all intently watched and hung on his every word as he brought the insight.<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-0055.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-0055.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-0139.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-0139.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />He then had us to seperate into groups of five. We each had our own turns to shoot with a model. Here are a few of my shots.<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-0264.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-0264.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-0205.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-0205.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-0193.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-0193.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />After we had time with the models we each submitted three photos right then and he crituiqed the photos as we all got a chance to see each other's work. I can not explain how amazing that opportunity is to a young photographer. I mean seriously how many times have you thought, "I wonder what (fill in the blank) would think of my work?" I HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY!!! Incredible. period.<br /><br />There was so much that I learned in just a short 36 hours that I would never know how to begin to share. It was truly a gift. In this case it was not a gift that I could unwrap and show you. That is what makes it so difficult to put into words. This gift comprised of not only learning technique, but also building relationships, learning about other people and personalities, hearing that people who are working toward some of the same things you are have also been struggling with some of the same issues. This gift also allowed me to take a look inside of myself, forcing me to ask questions on how I approach my business from here on out. From this very moment. No, that is not something I could show you. It is barely something I can even articulate.<br /><br />One small thing I did realize is that I haven't been focusing on the area of photography that sparks my passion. I shaped my business around what the people around me were doing. I just thought that that was the path to take. While the way these incredible talents focus their business is great I have quickly realized that that path was not what excites me. I realized that the kind of photographs I love taking are more in the fashion realm or photographing bands/musicians. So that is where I am headed. That is where I am going to direct my focus. I mean it makes the most sense right? Well it does to me. My first step towards this was as soon as I got home (literally about an hour later). My aformentioned teacher and friend and I colaborated on a little creative venture. Here is one of the shots I captured. I'm not going to post any more quite yet because I want to make an entire post from that shoot.<br /><br /><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-3772.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-3772.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />If by the insane chance Jeremy Cowart actually reads this I just want to say thank you. Thank you for this opportunity. Thank you for this gift. This has been a definite benchmark in my life and I will forever remember this weekend. You are an incredible talent and an inspiration to SO many photographers. Please! Keep the inspiration coming<br /><br />Much Love...Jharderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02978972965846475342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608264209918301516.post-43768556249333352392010-01-05T17:16:00.000-08:002010-01-05T18:29:36.886-08:00Looking back at '09 in Jharder Photography<div style="text-align: center;">This is probably a little late, but I thought that I would do somewhat of a special post for the new year. I thought that I would do a little comparing of my photos from earlier on the year compared to later on in the year. A way for me to see my progression. A way to see how far I've come in the short time that I've been trying to build this building. To follow I will post four categories: Families, Senior Portraits, Couples, Bridal shot, & Maternity. In each category I will post a photo from early in the year and one later. So here we go....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Family</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=DSC_0227copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/DSC_0227copy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=-8643.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/-8643.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Senior Portraits</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=IMG_1388copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/IMG_1388copy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=IMG_8256-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/IMG_8256-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Couples</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=IMG_1317-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/IMG_1317-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=IMG_5795-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/IMG_5795-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Bridal Shot</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=IMG_6384_2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/IMG_6384_2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=IMG_4983.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/IMG_4983.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Maternity</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=IMG_0766-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/IMG_0766-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/?action=view&current=IMG_7534-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/mobapu/IMG_7534-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well there you have it.
