A Chat with VCG Photography

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
I have a BFA in Photography, so I have both a fine art and commercial background. This gives me technical expertise and creativity. Plus, I love people. It’s a win-win-win.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
My childhood dream was to photograph for National Geographic. Life had other plans for me, but my love for photography has been a constant.

What do you love most about your job?
The people, hands down. I love seeing families relaxing together. Laughing, tickling, kissing and appreciating their togetherness. I love being the reason they are camped out on a quilt in a field on a beautiful evening. And when they see the photos, I feel like I’ve given them a gift back.

What is the best reaction you’ve ever gotten from a customer?
“I can’t begin to express what I just felt when I saw our family pictures. It was like opening the best Christmas gift I’ve ever received! You are truly a genius behind that camera - these are the first pictures I’ve liked of myself in 10 years.” A mom who didn’t really want to be in any photos.
