Why start a business in this town?

My family and I moved to Ridgefield a couple of years ago and this seemed like the perfect place to explore my passion for photography.

Briefly, what business are you in?

I provide a wide variety of services including newborn sessions, family portraits, cake smashes, senior portraits, and maternity sessions. This month I'm running a Holiday Mini Session on November 19th. For only $150, you get a full 30 minute session and 5 digital downloads. Here's the set-up we are using: [Insert Image of Promo]

What’s the most difficult moment or challenge you’ve faced as a business owner?

Balancing the business needs with raising and taking care of my two wonderful children, Luke and Sofia.

What’s been your favorite moment or proudest achievement since opening?

It’s impossible to pick just one moment. Every time someone reaches out to schedule a session, I feel truly honored and grateful that they chose me to capture a memory of a special time in their life.

How does your business give back or get involved in the community?

I’ll be volunteering my services next month for a charity event for the Boys and Girls Club and in September I was honored to take pictures for the Believe in Brook fundraiser at Barlow Elementary School. Going forward I will continue to look for ways to give back to the community.
