Strong Women Breathe Fire

Woman finds power and love inside herself through empowerment photoshoot

   After years of struggling with self image Betsy was finally ready to celebrate who she is and who's she's been her entire life through an AJBC Photography photoshoot.
   She expressed how for years she felt the pressure of how she was supposed to look, what she was supposed to do, the type of mom she was supposed to be raising kids, that restricting and guilty feeling of not being what other people think is right.
   When in all reality the BEST part of Betsy, and other women who are unafraid to be unapologetically who they are, is that she made a CHOICE in her life instead of following the herd of sheep, and a lot of people can’t understand that.

I so understand that.

In fact, I live for that.

Here's Betsy's visual representation of letting go, breaking free, and finally believing in herself, exactly the way she is. Burning societies rules of beauty and perfection to the ground.

Dancing at sunrise

A dynamic dance shoot

   Hannah has been dancing longer than some of my clients have been alive. That's when you know you LOVE something. Your whole life is about it.
   She is following her passion and perusing a career as a Professional Dancer. Nothing makes me happier than watching someone embrace what they were truly meant to do with their life!
   She told me finding a photographer that could give her the full impact of movement she was looking for in her images was a challenge, and that she was so happy to find me. It's the connections like that in life and at AJBC that I live for! So we put our passions together and created something Natural. Beautiful.
   Natural Beauty.
   It was important for her to also include nature. Obviously, if you've seen my work, you know I agree. So my team and I pushed ourselves and our limits in order to make Hannah's session magical, professional, and over the top.
   So take a look and see how we incorporated EVERY Earthly element into her session- Wind, Water, Fire, Earth. It was beautiful to watch Hannah move gracefully through all of it.

Burn- week 10 with ajbc photography

Week 10 of this 52 week project. 
This week I decided to experiment with the basics of what photography really is- light. And that's really ALL that photography is, simply playing and painting with light. 

We have a large pond on our property, which is pretty awesome, it makes for great summer sessions, but it's also an endless amount of upkeep. Especially when that upkeep is paying lots of money to kill what is basically pond weeds that will over take your entire yard if you don't get them under control. On top of that, after killing them, they need to be removed because they are then just large, dry, ugly sticks in your pond. 
Our solution. Burn the suckers down. With a large torch. Like the true country folk we are becomin' (clearly.) haha

At first, my goal was to just document what we were doing. But as we got going I started playing with white balance, focus, ISO, and came out with a true piece of art. Really- I feel like it looks like an art piece, or a painting, more than a photograph.

And once you find that inspiration in something every day, you start to see things in a whole new "light." Colors, Textures....

And amazing shapes. Mother Nature is an incredible force to try to beat. And I mean that in more ways than one. Positive and Negative.
