Lisa Whalen Photography Blog!

Progress is being made! I've finally got my Portraits gallery up and running, and now it's time to concentrate on what I've been avoiding all along - creating my written content! For some reason, writing about myself and what I do is extremely difficult for me. Do other people have this same problem? The funny thing is, I hear other people talk about my work and what I do and I usually think "wow, is that really me?" Maybe I just need to clear the 'ol brain and meditate, and wait for inspiration to strike...

That ubiquitous saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is not as applicable, apparently, when it comes to the internet, since search engines don't deal in the visual. Those of us who have always preferred to let the pictures do the talking have got some new literary skills to learn!

So I guess it's time to stop procrastinating by writing this blog and get to work on developing my content! Wish me luck...

One of the unexpected things about photographing kids are the childhood flashbacks that I get sometimes when I'm taking their pictures.

Unbeknownst (I love that word!) to Samara's parents, she'd packed her favorite book in with rest of her things and when she took it out - *poof* - instant flashback! It was none other than one of my all-time childhood favorites, Charlottes Web. I had to fight the urge to pick up the book and re-read it again myself, but as always, the desire to take photos triumphed again.

 

 

It turns out that there were a few other surprise goodies in that bag, including this super cool red mask...

Here is a small slide show that features more photography from this session...
