2018 – Portrait
I wanted to create ‘When Life Hurts’ to bring attention to the effects of emotional abuse caused by bullying. Bullying may not cause physical bruises, but the emotional scars can run very deep. Physical abuse is easy to identify, it’s easy to point a finger and say they hit me. That isn’t the case with emotional abuse. It’s harder to identify as the victim often blames themselves. It is my prayer that this image brings attention to the physical affects of emotional abuse.
2018 – Wedding
For ‘Redneck Alter’, I wanted to create a portrait for my clients that celebrated their love of hunting together. The location was the bride’s family homestead. We scouted the location prior to the wedding so it took just moments to set up the image on their wedding day. I think it is a great tribute to their family history and to what they love to do as a couple together.
