The story of a photographer

Hello, my name is Ceiara. I'm a free spirited, mom of 5 and the wife to a man named James. I've been doing photography since 2014 and realized in 2021 that I am allowed to my follow my heart and make it my full-time gig. With lots of love put into my work and the amazing friends I have gained through my career; I will make the very most and best of this journey.

As a child I would pick up those disposable cameras and take photos of everything. It was so magical when my mom would go get them developed and I could actually see what I created through that tiny lens and insane flash. I didn't know it then, but photography would become my happy place, my outlet for my creative thoughts and my calling! I've tried the whole nursing school thing and it didn't sing to my heart. I knew I had another calling to serving people. Something I could be loud with, creative, and unapologetic.

Being behind the camera and talking to my clients while I snap away, is the best time of the day for me! I hope to touch so many lives and make so many friends while on this path. I hope you will join me.

We are so excited to have her with us!
