More about Regina M....
What do you love about your job?
"You will never understand the importance of a photo until it is all you have." This quote speaks to me on such a deep level. I think it's a main reason why photographing the big milestones like weddings and families are so important to me. Sure, it's not my wedding or my family that I'm photographing -- but I feel responsible for capturing moments and people that slip through our fingers faster than we could ever realize. As a daughter, sister, wife, and mother myself, I would not trade the pictures of my great great grandparents, siblings, or my own children for anything. My kids are constantly changing and growing more than I realize every day. I love providing those photographic memories for others. I love meeting new people and showing them that they can be infinitely beautiful in a picture -- that a photographic image or film can actually capture that sparkle in their eye while looking at a loved one. There's really a multitude of things that I love about my job. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would still do this. THAT is how much I love what I do!
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
Since 2016, I have worked photography for weddings, couples, engagements, elopements, vow renewals, corporate events, corporate headshots, lifestyle and branding, automotive trade shows, sporting events, newborns, maternity, families, fashion shows, and small products in a studio. I believe I am able to make everything I do special because I bring my own personality, inspiration, and creativity to each body of work. With a wide range of experience and professional training in my background, no one could bring exactly what I do to a photo shoot or event.
