Photographer /Owner- Sharon Batchelor

 LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! From a very early age, I have been no stranger to being in Front of the camera as well as behind one clicking away! I am a person with very expressive nature and with a passion to use the talents I have been blessed with. Growing up it was not unusual to find me snapping photos everywhere I went from a short trip with friends just down the street to dressing up the family pets or my dolls!

Other passions include Singing, theatre and Film & playing instruments. Though I am very comfortable in the spotlight I love the supporting role as well encouraging others to shine shine shine! My studies in college included photography the first year but my major was musical theater. Due to expenses and time I had to choose to let my photography classes go but never let the passion go.

I had always wanted to explore and experience the Big Apple so after college I jet set off the live in NYC for a few years. Though it was one of the most exciting and best experiences of my life, I missed home and family.  

Over the years I learned that though I believe education is important, a degree or piece of paper does not a good artist make. Great photography transpires from the eyes that are merely windows of a creative soul and driven by passion and the desire to express yourself.  I decided around 2009 it was time to invest in a new pro camera and took a leap back into the world of photography. 

I have always been  taught that if you "Use your talents, and do what you Love and the money will come.." I do believe that to a certain degree, but it comes with a lot of hard work too!  For years I did just the opposite! Very entrepreneurial I tried many ventures in which I did well but they were never fulfilling and they all lacked the key ingredients. Passion and love of what I was doing. I decided a to make changes and start following my dreams and watch them come true. Voila!!!  Here I am today!

Being a person who has friends who come from a many different walks of life as well as learning from reading about different personality types, that has enabled me to make most people feel comfortable and relaxed around me. It is important as a photographer for me to learn as much about you and help you to express yourself through your photography session, for it is about you!

Though I have not been blessed with my own children, I have been blessed in my life to have been a part of many friends and relatives children's lives and now have 2 niece's and a nephew that have warmed my heart more than I could ever express in writing.  Now through photography, those blessings continue and bring a smile to my face as I capture the smiles of many young to old and see their stories unfold!
