Why I Started Little River Lens LLC | From Teacher to Photographer
If you had told me a year ago that I’d be starting my own photography business, I’m not sure I would’ve believed you. But here I am—wrapping up my final year as a teacher and stepping into a brand new chapter with Little River Lens LLC. This journey has already been full of heart, growth, and a lot of beautiful light (literally and metaphorically ✨).
Trading the Classroom for a Camera
Teaching has been a huge part of my life. For years, I poured my energy into helping others learn and grow. But deep down, I knew I was ready for something new—something creative, something of my own, and something I could pour my whole heart into and do it while cherishing every precious second with GRANDCHILD number six!!
Photography found me at just the right time. In the last few months, I purchased my first camera, built a website through Squarespace, and started delivering galleries with CloudSpot. More than the technical side, I’ve fallen in love with capturing the little in-between moments. The real smiles. The connection. The story behind every single image.
Building Little River Lens LLC from the Ground Up
Like most new beginnings, this one has been filled with learning curves—but also SO much joy. What’s made it even more special is the support I’ve received from my family and friends. They’ve shown up in every way: letting me practice on them, cheering me on, sharing my work, and reminding me I can do this.
Launching Little River Lens LLC hasn’t just been about learning a new skill. It’s about creating something rooted in purpose. Something that feels like me.
What I Bring to Your Session
My background as a teacher has shaped the way I approach photography—with patience, empathy, and an eye for those real, natural moments. Whether I’m photographing a couple in love, a family giggling under the golden sun, or an idependent young woman chasing her dream, my goal is to help you feel seen and celebrated.
Even as a newer photographer, I bring deep intentionality, a strong work ethic, and a creative heart. Every session is an honor. Every story matters.
