I believe that photographs are a window to that specific time in your life. So why shouldn't your photography session be fun, loving and remind you of all the wonderful things in your life? I hear so many people tell me they aren't photogenic or they were so worried about their session. I want any session I do - family, couples or even wedding days - to feel exciting and fun as opposed to something you have to do. I want to give you the space to be yourself and so when you look back at your images, you remember all the good.
story
I am a married momma to two beautiful girls and two crazy dogs. My husband is an incredibly talented author and I am so grateful for his different, but awesome perspective in the art I create. I obviously love photography but I also really adore reading, dogs, a good glass of wine and yoga. I have been a photographer since 2011 and still can't believe I get to do this for a living. I love photographing all kinds of people and welcome anyone to reach out about their session. Especially if you have dogs and want your dogs in the photos.
I would love to chat with you about capturing your special time. Feel free to visit my inquiry page or message me at vanessa@vanessarayphotography.com. Photos on this page taken by my darling friend and most talented photographer, Julia Wade.
