A portrait captures the emotion of a single moment in time. It freezes a split second for eternity. While it certainly doesn’t capture the mood for an entire day, each one tells a story of how the subject was feeling at that moment.

Whether it’s the joy of a child who has spent the day playing in the mud, or the solemn memories of an old soldier as they are being honored for their deeds, each emotion is worth capturing so that their memories can live on long after they are gone.
