My name is Anna Johnson-Smith.  I am a full time mother, former kindergarten teacher, and photographer.  I own Smith Family Photography located near Waco, Texas.  We strive to provide a fun, modern, and creative photography experience in a relaxed atmosphere.

Smith Family Photography developed from a need that I had as a mother.  We have a "his-mine-ours" type of family, which consists of eight children.  Family photography sessions with a family that size are typically very expensive and stressful.  Kids do not want to cooperate.  They fight.  They argue.  They give goofy faces.  They are KIDS!  Although they are kids, photographers have a set amount of time they can spend at each session, which just adds to the stress.

Hi Everyone, from ShutterPix Photography!

~Where You Express Yourself, Because Today, Will Be Gone Tomorrow....

Welcome to my Photography and my blog.

I am a Photographer in Corpus Christi, Texas and for the Texas Gulf Coast. I photograph for the reasons that you don't want to lose what Today brings!  Many of us, forget those moments that fade with time and we wish we had a photo that reminds us of the twinkle in your eye or the broad smile of excitement.  For me, I have lots of images on my computer but when I have a print in a frame, it is the moment I remember the joy behind that capture!

Hello everyone! Don here from Donald Jin Photography.  Let me start with a big “thank you” to Basic Invite for inviting me to be featured on their blog.  It's a great honor to be paired with such a great company.  I am a portrait photographer based out of Boston.  Though I enjoy all genre of photography, my passion lies with photographing people.  Unlike any other types of photography, portraits allow me the opportunity to interact and build a rapport with my clients.  Through this process, I get a glimpse of their personalities, quirks, and what makes them unique.

Hello everyone! My name is Andy and I help run Two Acorns Photography with my sister Janet. We are a brother/sister duo based in Greenville, SC and have been working together for a couple years now. I started as a stylized automotive photographer and Janet in architecture. She has a wonderful eye for color and composition and really provides the vision for Two Acorns. With my background I was able to bring a technical understanding and application of both natural and artificial light to provide a little more depth to our photos. Between Janet's extraordinary creativity and my technical expertise, we figured we would make a great team. Although we may disagree quite often on whose college football team is better, we do share a passion in capturing life's candid moments!

About the Photographer

When I received my first DSLR camera for my 15th birthday, I thought, "Cool! A new hobby!" Later, when I shot my first wedding at 17 and received a love gift of $50, I thought, "Spare cash? This is great!" Then, I became a go-to for senior portraits at a few local high schools, and I thought, "Maybe I can actually do this as a 'side gig' to supplement income from my 'REAL career." And when, in February of 2017, I received a Facebook message from a woman I'd never met, saying I came highly recommended to photograph her daughter's wedding, I realized I had a chance.

So, I took that chance. I made a dangerous, naive, irrational decision... or so that's what people told me. I quit my "real" job as a full-time marketing professional, and I started my photography business. Oh, and the woman who messaged me on Facebook in February? This is her daughter.

Hi! I'm Tracye Pulliam and I want to share a little about me with you today. I am a photographer in Jackson, TN. If you don't know where that is, it's between Nashville and Memphis. I went to photography school at Hallmark Institute of Photography in Massachusetts and came back to be close to friends and family as I opened my business in 2001.

Legacy: Where does it begin ?

Growing up in a middle class, all American family I had it all: A house, clothes, food and loving parents. Sibling rivalry was a thing of the day and seeing who could make it to the bathroom first was a never ending fight! Oh, the days of childhood! I think we can all relate to this in one way or another. Possibly the thought of hitting your sibling on the head with a frying pan maybe once or twice!

My name is Jason Swain, I consider myself very lucky to be able to say that I live and work as a full time professional photographer on the beautiful Isle of Wight, and that I love my job.

I’ve been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. Initially I used photography as a tool to gather information to support my love of painting and work as an artist. Then, over the years, I grew to appreciate it as an art form in its own right, and I gradually became hooked. It was a little over 11 years ago when I decided to also make my passion my livelihood, and took the leap to become a full time professional.

Hey everyone! Lindsay with LRA Photography & Design here. If you would have told my high school self that I would own my own photography and graphic design business one day I would have never believed you. Now, I'm doing something I truly love that brings me so much joy.

A little bit about me...I spent four years teaching elementary school and realized very quickly that was not the way I wanted to spend my days. I went back to school and earned a degree in graphic design. After taking a photography class one semester I felt like I had found my true calling. Fast forward three years and here I am.
