Raise your hand if you’re stoked to be working at your desk at 8pm on a Saturday night!!! ::: looks around excitedly to find no one else around with their hand raised, or no one else around at all, cause duh everyone’s out :::

Well, sometimes I’m out too. Quite often on a Saturday night though, it’s at a wedding or event…that I’m shooting. But I got to get my kicks in too. So sometimes we* dance. While we work.

It’s the Lovato Images way.

Senior Photos in Orange

I start all of Lovato Images senior portrait sessions out the same: with lots of questions. It allows opportunity to get to know our fabulous seniors a little more and to get a glimpse into their lives. I love it.

Claire’s answers really took this love to a new level though. Her outlook on life is uplifting and inspiring and her answers motivated me to get out there and be a better me. Talk about benefits at work!

Example: I asked Claire if she was an artist and she responded ‘I love the stage, the easel and the dance floor. Photography isn’t my forte, but I do love looking at photographs. Overall I think the world around me is one giant medium of creation; the world informs the art within us.’

Um, excuse me? You’re 17, Claire? So full of grace; so wise. I was truly honored to spend some quality time with such a quality young lady and create some fun photos while we were at it. Oh and I’m definitely printing her words and hanging them on my wall to remind me daily of our giant medium. You should too.
