Describe your business:
I am a photographer who loves to capture moments that last a lifetime. I love all types of photography and sessions but I would say my true love is newborns.
Where does your inspiration for this business come from?
My inspiration comes from my kids. I know that might sound a little corny and the typical mompreneur answer but it’s true. I have always loved having a camera in my hand but it really hit home and changed direction when my kids grew up to fast and I realized that I wanted to have great snap shots of life but also amazing portraits that they could look back on for years!
What has been your greatest achievement thus far?
I would have to say it would be being accepted as an approved photographer for The Gold Hope Project.
The Gold Hope Project is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. The Gold Hope Project is a group of international photographers that have come together to photograph families completely free, with the hopes of bringing about awareness of and raise funds for Pediatric Oncology Research and treatment. For more information on the Gold Hope Project or to nominate someone please check out their website.
What’s your advice for someone who is just starting out?
Practice, practice and practice on anyone and everyone who will let you, it’s a big one. But the best advice I can give someone who is stepping in the world of photography is to not be nervous by other photographers. There will always be someone who is better and that’s okay as long as you are improving and learning all the time. And by better well it doesn’t have to mean better it could be that someone likes a different style then you provide. Learn what style you are and be the best at what and who you are as a photographer.
