i wanna capture love. ♥

As an aspiring photographer (who is still a wanna-be, rather), I have many broad pathways before me. And if I am truly serious about this art, or passion, or career--or whatever it turns into for me, I believe that I should have goals. Goals make things realistic; worthy of time and effort.

 So what are my goals--my aspirations for this pursuit of mine? Well, I want to capture beauty: everyday life, tiny delicate parts of God's unique world, people and places who He sets in my path...

..but most of all, I want to capture love. A.k.a., weddings + engagements. Happy people in love. Because there's so much beauty in all of that, and to have the opportunity to seize such moments...I think it would be bliss. ♥ 

Now, I'm talking to fellow aspiring photographers here: have you ever come across pictures so gorgeous that you immediately think,

 "That's what I want to do. That's what kind of photographer I want to be--how I want to capture moments." 

Well, I had one of those "inspiring instants" when I found the "French Farmer's Market" ^^ engagement shoot via Green Wedding Shoes. I've seen a lot of engagement sessions, but this has to be one of  my absolute favorites. The stunning layout, lighting, poses...this is just exactly what I want to be doing, someday.  

Take a look..pure eye candy, folks. 

^^ ummm...beautiful, much?? How cute is the boots idea!

^^ Stunning. 

Anyone else dying out there?? ;]

 Love is pretty. It needs to be captured. And someday, Lord willing and with much saving, working, and experience along the way, I'm going to do it.
