I love this photo...with Karen
© Karen Russell
I am Karen Russell and I love this photo because I just like the golden tones in this shot and the light reflecting off the sand, the water and the rocks. I also like the little patches of color set against the bright sky, like the blue polkadot swimsuit my daughter Annie is wearing and her yellow beach basket. I also like that it’s a completely candid, unposed shot. I take plenty of planned, posed portraits and I like them just fine, but honestly, I much prefer candid shots. I just love the authenticity of a candid shot; that little moment of (real) life documented. That’s what I REALLY love.
