The Beginning, The Journey, and The Memories of FF Photography
How it Started
When I was younger I loved seeing my Grandpa with a camera and was always curious what it was exactly. He showed me how it worked and from then on I was addicting to learning how a camera worked and started getting really into picture websites such as Tumblr. At that time I was in high school learning how graphic design worked and started making my own pictures digitally and then absorbed all the knowledge I could about taking a nice picture. At the time it was a very different time but it gave it me a big idea of how I could start taking pictures. For months I asked my Mom for a Canon camera and it showed how passionate I was for taking pictures. My birthday came around (near Christmas) and my Mom surprised me with a Canon Rebel T3 DSLR. From that point I was taking pictures of everything and anything. Once I got used to taking pictures I started to get into portrait photography and starting my online business so I could build relationships and expand my knowledge and skills.

Everything Happened for a Reason
When I started out with Photography I explored many different ways of taking a picture which have led me to where I am at now. After starting my small business I wanted to expand and start taking photos for families. Once the word got through, my family starting asking if I could take pictures for them at our family reunions, birthday parties, and special events. It took years for me to gather enough pictures for me to fully feel comfortable with taking pictures of others families and once I got my first gig for taking family portraits I was addicted. Taking pictures for quite of few families, I feel great about my work and ready to continue the trend.

“I would highly recommend having Frank take your photos for any event! He did my graduation photos and they are absolutely beautiful. He takes the time to position you correctly, show you some photos to see how you like them, and overall an extremely smooth process as he makes the photo session fun and is high energy. You will love all of the photos he takes for you, definitely book him for any of your upcoming events!”

““You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life.””
