So one day, I was sitting on the couch with my husband chitchatting about our life together and he asked me, "If you could do any job in the world, what would it be?"... That was all too easy from me to answer, with very little hesitation, I replied, "I would love to be a photographer." Now that response came with very little surprise to him since I would take somewhere around two-hundred photos a day of whatever caught my eye... whether it was of him, our children, our puppy, the sky, or even my cup of coffee. Right before this conversation occurred, we found out we would be making our first big move together to a new state for his career and for a new position to him in his career field... He replied to my answer after thinking for a couple seconds and simply said, "Well do it, I know you'll be a great photographer." Seerious Photography was established.
And so here I am... master classes, studying, photographing everything that makes me feel happy. I want all of my photographs to give others the same emotions I feel when I see them. I want all of those emotions to come through the photos without having to add a caption.
My love for photography definitely comes from my mother. Growing up, my mother ALWAYS had a camera attached to her. She took photos of every moment of my sister and I's life. All of the little moments, like playing in the backyard with our sprinkler to prepping for our softball games to getting all glammed up for dances... she captured it all. Looking at those photographs now, I can still feel the giddiness, the excitement, the pure joy of those moments. That is what started the beginning of my love of photography...
My love for photography, specifically capturing those special moments, intensified when I had my own children for a few of reasons...
ONE.
I want my children to look back on photographs I have taken and be flooded with all of the emotions they felt during that moment like I do with my mother's photographs...
TWO.
I want to be able to share all of the moments with my family, who are all of the United States...
THREE.
Sometimes things are just beautiful and I want to be able to look back on the photographs and smile.
So... here I am... doing what I love and capturing moments for my clients that become like family.
