Occasionally, the photo gods smile on me a little more than usual \u2013 an unexpected thing for sure at 5:30 in the morning on a sweltering Myrtle Beach morning\u2026<\/p>\n
Meet Savannah, a softball playing beauty who could give any supermodel a run for their money. Rarely have I photographed someone who has such ease and poise in front of the camera. No matter what I asked her to do, she accomplished it as though it was the most natural thing in the world. Now, I am as camera shy as they come \u2013 most photographers are (a dirty little secret we don\u2019t want people to know!) And in today\u2019s camera saturated world, most people have an automatic and practiced smile and pose for the camera. What we as photographers try to do is get past that protective shell and show the real you behind that mask. There was no mask with Savannah\u2026 She just looked into and past the camera and was her real self, naturally. She was an absolute joy to photograph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
