Lens Candy // Sarah Cornish

Welcome to Lens Candy! Here we'll feature a photographer, their favorite photo(s) and a brief back story behind the shoot.

Today's Lens Candy featured photographer is Sarah Cornish of My Four Hens Photography. In addition to being the amazing photographer that she is, Sarah is also quite the talented actions designer.

Here are a couple of Sarah's favorite shots:

"The first photo is from a client session. I took it with my Canon 90mm TS lens and was literally standing knee deep in the ocean trying to get the sun perfectly. This sweet little girl was so quiet and shy and reserved so I am positive she thought I was insane lol! Her mother is also a photographer and they had come to me from New York and spent five hours in the car to get to me and I can't tell you how amazing and wonderful they were to work with. As I was pressing the shutter button I was thinking I can NOT wait to get this photo home on the computer! I knew it was going to be a favorite of mine for a long time. I am a huge sun flair junky! I also used my Canon 5d Classic. (I shoot with two cameras.)"

"The second photo is from the same session. I actually took it after the session was over. We were heading back off the beach to the parking lot to find that the way we came in was completely covered in water. I had initially thought that we took too long since it was almost dark and high tide has just come in but when we got to the parking lot it was completely underwater. It was insane. I was chatting with mom about it because she isn't from the area and I had never seen anything like that before when I noticed her youngest daughter out of the corner of my eye wading over to her siblings. I adjusted my settings and snapped as quickly as possible. I love emotive photos and this one resonates with me for some reason more then anything else I have taken in a while. She just looks so thoughtful. I used a Canon 35L for this shot with my Canon 5d Mark II."

Thanks for sharing your favorite photos with Have An Epiphanie, Sarah! Your work is truly inspiring and we were so happy to have you as our first featured photographer in Lens Candy.

AND, we can't forget to mention that My Four Hens Photography is currently hosting a Grey Belle giveaway. If you haven't already entered, hurry because the contest ends tonight at 10:00pm CST!
