Taking a Chance

Lori and Kenny at Their Engagement Photo Shoot
Photographs like the one above often happen by chance. My niece and her fiance were in the tree for a couple humorous pictures. But in a moment, something more appeared between them and I was able to capture it.
As a photojournalistic-style photographer, I don’t hope for beautiful happenstance–I rely on it. So I work at anticipating these surprise moments. “Working at being lucky” sounds like a contradiction, but preparation and experience make these happy accidents more likely and able to be collected with my camera.
