I have always loved taking pictures. As a child and teenager, I enjoyed taking silly candid photos of my friends just for fun. Since then, I was the one people could count on to bring my camera to special events such as birthday parties, baby showers and family gatherings. However, it wasn't until I became a mom that I felt truly inspired to take my photography to the next level. About two years after the birth of my daughter, Grace, I received my first “real" camera. I went nuts taking pictures of her and my then newborn daughter, Hannah. I felt compelled to document every stage and milestone of my children's lives, and I wanted to capture those moments in a candid way. At that point, I began practicing, reading photography books and viewing different photography websites to learn and perfect my craft.
Turning my hobby into a business is a dream come true for me. I'd like thank my husband, Seth, for his love and encouragement; it is that support which gives me the strength to pursue my dreams. And to my daughters, thank you for inspiring me to see the beauty in everyday life and allowing me to capture those moments. And most of all, I thank God for all the many blessings He has given to me. I am grateful to the Lord because He is the one who has blessed me with a talent and the ability to do something I love. Years from now, I want you to look back and be able to tell a story with your photos. My purpose is to capture life's precious moments...your moments that are so precious and fleeting! -Vanessa
