My biggest passion in life is God, but one of my other passions has always been to create something from nothing. I grew up with a mother who is an artisan, and a father, who paints and writes. They have always encouraged my sister and me to develop our talents and reach for our dreams. Because of this, I have dedicated myself to a wide variety of things.
I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Investigative Forensics, once in a while I write a little from my series of novels (not published), have a business in photography and a mom of two very amazing kids. I know it seems like a busy schedule, but I enjoy it and still have time for my beautiful kids and amazing husband who is currently serving in the army and has provided us with the chance to travel. |
The Business
MerianneR Photography provides full services for birthdays, maternity photos, family photos and so much more. When we lived at Fort Stewart, GA; I decided to open up the business and start photographing the wonderful events that are part of all of our lives.
After starting the business; I was blessed to meet Mercia Parimore of Elite Precision Photography who was kind enough to become my mentor and impart her knowledge from years of experience. Thanks to her I was able to grow my business exponentially in less than a year. We have relocated a few times since then and I have had the opportunity to visit so many great locations. Currently, I am located in Illinois near the Chicago area.
I'm also affiliated with Heavenly Creations providers of custom event favors in the form of handmade soaps, lotions, candles, among many other things.
