What is Life Captured?

Here's the responses that I received in order:

"Life Captured to me means me being a daughter, a student, and a very strong christian. The main part to my my meaning of my life being captured is me devoting my life to god! My life is captured!"

"Life Captured to me means capturing something special to hold on to forever!!"

"Life captured means so much to me. Joshua Carter photographed me during a year that has changed my life. He captured my senior year in a way that I can always remember. This year is a time to grow but also a time for remembrance. Life Captured has taken this year and put it in a time capsule for me to look back on for the rest of my life. That is what Life Captured means to me, taking someones life and capturing it so you can look back on that time and remember."

"A Friend."

"Life captured is like when we were taking Trey's senior pictures at your family's farm and we're focused on Trey and then we turn around and my 5 year old is planted in tall wildflowers just mesmerized looking at them. I was thinking I need a picture of that and before I could say anything you saw it too and captured a picture of life with Anna!"

"Life Captured is amazing. You can dance and just have fun, and you end up getting gorgeous pics! I love it... and Joshua's pretty cool I guess. Lol jk he's awesome!"

"Life Captured can portray the essence of each individual person’s personality. If your are heart and mind are “Captured” you log in just to see the newest creations of someone’s Life Captured."

"Life Captured . . . . . life is short, life is unpredictable. Life Captured, to me, means life as it is on that day at that moment in time. If it's family, it is those you hold in your arms during that shoot. You never know what life will throw at you, for life itself is not guaranteed. Take the opportunity to capture life's moments that are special to you and yours."

Thank you for all who responded to that request, it was truly amazing and wonderful to read what Life Captured means to you.

I believe there is meaning behind what I do, greater then myself. I like to "think" it's "my vision", but what I capture is the beauty that God has created. With a click of the shutter, for just that moment, if I can give them that in a photograph to hold on to, and remember, then I will walk away with a smile.

Brooke - Senior

Brooke came all the way from Nevada one afternoon about two weeks ago...and it was a cold cold afternoon and overcast, but, a little overcast is a good thing, and ended up with some great shots!! Here's a couple so far.

Brooke...I'll hook you up with a sweet video mix when I finish up the rest of the images!

Family shoot

I did a family shoot last weekend on Saturday morning..at 7:00! It was cold cold! Not just cold, but cold cold! They had a couple young children, and bless their little hearts they did such a GREAT job!

I had acquired a true antique Santa sleigh, put it out in a prairie field to use for this shoot.

Here's one of my favorites from that morning. A little more abstract, but, love the family all huddled up to stay warm...gives it that Christmas feel.

Mack

I had the pleasure to shoot Mack a few weeks ago and get to know him a little bit that afternoon. He is the quarterback for Webb City Cardinals...so, I went into this shoot with an idea or two for a couple artistic shots, which I think turned out pretty cool. The one below with him holding the ball up high is one of them.

Ok...so, as you may have seen, I've been using my little video camera quite a bit during the shoots, and it's been a lot of fun, and source of entertainment. As we were doing this particular shoot, I thought it'd be cool to run a couple pass plays!! I think I surprised him with my speed!

Mack...thanks for being a sport, and I'll be calling you soon with your proof images!
