I was photographing a two-year-old’s birthday portraits when he did what most two-year-olds do during photo sessions: refuse to take photos. The thing that rescued the photo session from teary-eyed photos? I put my camera down.
I learned photography on a digital camera and, unlike my role model, who first learned on film, I didn’t have any qualms about limiting my photos for the sake of the film prices. I was perfectly happy taking as many photos as my memory card would allow – enough so that I earned the nickname “Pepper” for my love for burst mode.
