SARGENT: As photographers, we often speak of moments

On my website there is a introduction video that speaks about passion and how I will never tell someone that I am a passionate photographer. I state that I would rather show you what inspire’s me.  That statement is a description about being able to capture a moment. Sometimes it is very easy, but often times it is difficult. With that said please bear with me as I explain this feeling in written word. My subject Je’ne is a natural.

She provided me with a ton of great looks and made the shoot very easy for me. As we were finishing the shoot, I wanted one or two images with Je’ne’s mom in the frame. As we all know some people just are not comfortable in front of the camera. Jonna is one of those people. That’s were I as a photographer do what I do best. I pushed the matter, and did my best to make her comfortable in front of the lens. In this case I felt the best way I can put my subject at ease was to simple have her interacting with her superstar daughter. The image I am sharing here is the third shot I took. As I figured it did not take long For Jonna to get into the groove and she killed it. In fact what we have here is a moment. After I looked at this I realized I had a moment. First off, Je’ne although an incredible athlete, is very humble. When she is on the court she is fierce and has the rare ability to turn it off, after the final buzzer. Her Mom, well there is no doubt how much Jonna love’s her daughter. They shared that love with me and allowed me to capture a moment. All I can really tell you about all this, is that it is a powerful, experience. It is inspiring, and makes you feel pretty good, about what you just experienced, and capturing it forever.

I give you JE’NE and her mom Jonna.

Thank you ladies, for allowing me the chance to capture this moment… GOD BLESS!!

THAT’S A WRAP!!!
