Hi, I'm TIFFANY

Oh friends, where to begin! First let me welcome you to my brand new website! I hope you are able to easily navigate around and see what I’ve been working on this past month. I have so much that I want to share with you in this post, so bare with me…

About a month ago I met with world-renowned photographers, Justin and Mary Marantz. I signed up for a mentoring session because I am a firm believer that you have to continue to learn in order to grow- not only in business, but also as an individual. When I signed up for the mentoring session I envisioned that it would be very business formal. Laptops on desks. Buckets of information raining down on me. So, you can imagine my surprise when they asked me to take a seat on their comfy couch in the living room. I wanted to make sure this meeting was perfect- I did my homework. I made a list of all the questions I wanted to ask and the goals I want to achieve. My type-A personality was prepared to check them off and type the responses as they were given. But before I could even pull out my laptop, Mary started the meeting with a simple question. This question brought all of my thoughts to a screeching halt. At that very moment, I knew this meeting was going to be wildly different from what I expected. The question was this: “Why are you a photographer?” I suddenly felt unprepared. I wanted to have the perfect response. I knew it would not be good enough if I answered with: “I love taking pictures.” Or the cliché saying, “I love love.” They wanted to get in my heart. They wanted me to get in my heart. To access the very core of my being and confidently state what it is that makes me…me. My mind was racing. And at one point I even thought, maybe I should just lay down on this couch…therapy style. I was able to speak from my heart, but I knew I needed to dig much deeper. The meeting continued and I felt like I was being interviewed by Oprah. With each passing moment pieces of me were coming to light, just like a puzzle. Pieces that I knew were there, but had a hard time finding where they belong. Because of this mentoring session, not only did I discover my “why”…but I discovered my heart.

WHY
I SEE BEAUTY BECAUSE MY PARENTS PROVIDED ME WITH A BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
I BELIEVE IN WORKING HARD BECAUSE MY FATHER DEMONSTRATED THAT EVERY DAY SINCE I WAS BORN.
I BELIEVE IN BEING KIND AND GENEROUS BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT I WAS TAUGHT.
I BELIEVE IN TRADITIONS BECAUSE I LIVE THEM.
I AM A STRONG WOMAN BECAUSE I WAS RAISED BY ONE.
I BELIEVE YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANY GOAL WITH DEDICATION AND A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
I BELIEVE IN LOYALTY, INTEGRITY, AND STRONG WORK ETHIC.

I BELIEVE IN THE BOND OF FAMILY.
I BELIEVE IN LOVE.

THIS IS ALL I KNOW.

MY CAMERA IS SIMPLY AN INSTRUMENT TO CAPTURE THESE THINGS.
ALL THINGS LOVE.

To me, launching this website is more than a new look. It marks the beginning of a new chapter in my business, and in my life. One where I can confidently put myself out there and say, “This is me.” I no longer feel like I have to fit into a certain mold, or do things a certain way. I no longer feel the pressure of trying to be someone I am not. Instead, I’ve learned to embrace who I am… as a photographer…as a woman.

I’ve learned that income doesn’t define success. Nor does the amount of employees you have… or the number of weddings you shoot… or whether or not you have a big studio. I have learned that success, for me, is right here… right now. For that, I am eternally grateful. I can’t wait to see what’s in store as I continue to learn and grow on my journey with photography…I am so thankful you’re all with me for the ride.

Please accept this personal invitation…To visit the ‘About’ section of my website. To learn about me as your friend, your photographer.

Thank you all for your continued support and for taking the time to read this…it means more than you’ll ever know.

Below you will find some photos that were taken by Justin and Mary following our mentoring session. Thank you so much J&M for your time, talent, and- most importantly, an experience that will last a lifetime.

 

With Love,
Tiffany

PERSONAL

In October 2021, our family took a giant leap of faith and moved to Southwest Florida. Mainly to be closer to family, but also for the amazing opportunity to run my business in two states I love.
