Introduction Capturing memories means so much more to me than just taking portraits. It’s those special expressions, little toes and that cherished stuffed bear that we want to remember forever. I had a client call me wanting her portrait taken. She said that she just wanted to do it, because she’s young. I thought…”Now that’s truly what photography is about”. Capturing time! It’s about remembering the beauty of youth and the wisdom of age. It’s preserving the special "Life Events", Moments in time that will never be here again. When I’m photographing children, I love to let them be themselves while I capture them listening to the ocean through a conch shell or skipping on the beach or reaching for the stars. I want them to be themselves, so that I can portray who they are at that very moment. With everyone I photograph, I want to capture that inner person. It’s about capturing the happy times, youth, age, life events, the family, the dog and even the cat, if she’ll let me. I’m Paula Showen and I’m a photographer. I have an adult son and daughter and 3 grand kids. I’m capturing every moment with them that I can.
