How did you come up with the name?

When I started up my company I really wanted to get my name out there and what better way then to use my own name.

Why start a business in this town?

I want to connect with people and families. I love that I live in this small town and can capture my clients memories as they grow and change throughout the years.

What business are you in?

I am a on location photographer in Connecticut.

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

So far just getting my name out to the public.

What’s been your proudest achievement since opening?

Seeing the happiness that my photos can give to a family. Seeing the joy on their faces when my work captures their child’s personality and spunk.

How does your business give back to the community?

I work closely with every client to customize any photo package to meet their financial needs. I also offer huge incentives through social media on Facebook groups such as Simsbury Mom’s Unite as well as Avon Parents Connect and Moms of Farmington Valley.
