If I could buy any talent it would definitely be singing/songwriting. I am in love with the notion of writing your story- your feelings- your life into a song that can touch the hearts of so many. One of my most favorite talents is Miss Valeri Lopez (she does it so perfectly). She has the voice of an angel and the music prowess to go with. I am also lucky enough to call her a friend (& my kids’ current music teacher so maybe I am buying that talent) ;) She just released a new album and is getting ready to set out on tour so we did some updated photos.
She’s as pretty as she sounds… ;)
and shhhh… don’t tell children’s photography, but if i was to find another love it would definitely be with musicians and artists. Such amazing souls to capture.

Tara S.: I remember the first time I read your blog... I was so captivated by your photography, but I think it was the way you used music to express something about your photography that really connected me to you. It would make so much sense if one day you ended up photographing musicians/artists. Your passion for both really come through in these gorgeous pictures! By the way, super bummed I didn't get lucky and win the spot to your Cincy workshop, but I'd still love to catch up with you at some point during your visit if you have any free time in your schedule :) (07.06.2012 07:47pm)
