Taming Teddy (Made Marian, #2)

“But now I think I understand the real reason Jamie was hesitant. Because the real photographs, the ones that suck you in, are the ones where you catch a glimpse of truth in the person being photographed. “I didn’t realize it at the time, but this was the gift that Jamie gave me. The chance to see that in him. I’ve learned that being in love with your subject changes your definition of beauty in those fleeting moments. The way the sun lights up their best features, the way their body language changes as they interact with their surroundings. The patience you have for dimples you know are just waiting for the right moment to show themselves. And the instinctive knowledge you have of when to hit the shutter release to catch them being their truest self. “It’s a difficult thing to open yourself up to that kind of vulnerability, to allow someone else to not only see the real you, but to capture it and make it permanent for others to see as well.”
