Hello :)


Seeing as how this is my first blog post I've decided to use this space to tell you a little bit about myself and my plans.

As you can see to the left I am a photographer from Virginia currently in the process of getting my own business up and running. Growing up I always felt like an artistic person but without the real ability to draw or paint it wasn't until I started taking pictures that I realized I had found my niche! To me, taking a photograph isn't just something you do on a vacation or on birthdays. Photography is having that ability to capture the beauty and specialness of life. There is no feeling like the one you get when you take that perfect photo, the one that truly captures the personality of the subject or the beauty of the moment. A good photo should take your breath away and bring you back to the moment it was taken, giving you the rare opportunity to relive a fleeting moment. It is because of this meaning that I chose the name I did for my business. Genesis is the story of creation, in all of its beauty and awesomeness, and that is the same creation I aim to capture in my photography.

My plan for Genesis Photography is for it to become a two fold enterprise consisting of portraiture/event photography and artwork. Having portraits made or documenting an event is a very exciting experience. It should be personal, unique and fun. As it says to the left I am currently available for weddings and events along with portraiture of any kind. For pricing and more information or to set up an appointment please email me at genesis1photography@gmail.com.

I am also planning on providing framed landscapes for sale. These will include some religious art that will incorporate scripture passages calligraphed on the matting. Samples of these will also be shown in the blog shortly as well.

In short, I am very much looking forward to sharing my photography with others in a way that will represent and illustrate the beauty of the lives we've been given.
