My friend Rebecca and I always take a portrait together when we see each other. It started 14 years ago, as the years have passed we have added our children into the portrait. One day this will be a wonderful book.
We drove to Dallas this weekend, not a bad drive from Kansas City. Stopped in Oklahoma City and viewed the Memorial there, a rather somber experience but very well done. Nikita had her first history lesson in the evil of humans.
Shot a wedding this weekend which was rather enjoyable. I do not shoot very many weddings but found this one to be very fun. Probably because the couple and family were so great and unconventional. If all weddings were like this one I would shoot many more.
Tatjana has never lived in one place for very long. her mom served in the Norwegian foreign service, so Tatjana has lived in Moscow,Oslo, Washington DC, Vienna, Jerusalem, Mexico City, Santa Barbara and Kansas City. Fluent in several languages, Tatjana has always been inspired by people, and the cultural mix around her - whether that happens down the street, in another country, or another continent.
Wherever Tatjana finds herself, she will be fully engaged in the moment. Her photographs reflect a unique combination of aesthetic spontaneity and technical profeciency which brings out the very best in her subjects.
"photography is a way of life for me. i love the opportunity to engage with people and let my images tell their story. It is how I live, not what I do."
