About 2 years ago, I bumped into an old friend at
the mall. In a quick effort to catch up, we ran through the
typical "catch-up questions" like: Are you married? Do you have any kids? Where
are you living? Where do you work? At the time, I had just accepted an office
manager position at a local physical therapy clinic. When I told my friend
this, he replied by saying "I thought for sure you'd be
a photographer." And, just like that, it hit me! I’ve always been known as "the
girl with the camera." In high school my friends would often joke that my
camera was glued to my hand. In fact, I heard “I didn’t bring my camera,
because I knew you’d have yours” on more than one occasion. When I go on vacation, I don’t just snap a
few shots here and there. I take at least a few hundred pictures. Just ask my husband,
Ryan! He’ll tell you that on our honeymoon, we took nearly 1,000 pictures. We
were only in Hawaii for 11 days.
You do the math! Photography has always been something that I’ve enjoyed and I value my pictures far more than any other material possessions. What
I am able to capture with my lens, in a single moment, is a memory
frozen in time. A memory that my clients will be able to enjoy long
after the moment has passed. So, here I am! I know I still have a million things to learn, but
that’s the beauty of this profession. There’s always something to learn! It’s an
ever-expanding field that is constantly evolving itself, challenging your creativity and encouraging you to be better at what you do. I’d
like to thank all of you who have encouraged me throughout these initial
stages. Your support keeps me going and I feel fortunate to be surrounded
by so many wonderful people. Spread the word, Nicole Cromer Photography is here
for all of your photography needs!
