GRANDMA LEWIS, my greatest cheerleader

In 2007, my grandma took me to Best Buy to purchase my very first professional DSLR camera, a Canon 40D. She actually wanted to buy me the Canon 5D Mark II, but it was $2000 more on top of an already $3,000 purchase. I kindly told her, “no”. Knowing nothing about what I was getting myself into I didn’t want her spending that kind of money on something that may not even work out! She never came out and said it, but her husband was always fiddling with a camera, and I think that’s why she was so invested in my journey.

Throughout the years she was my quiet pusher, always asking about how the photography was going, and she loved getting pictures of the great grandkids through the years. She was one of the few that really believed in me in starting a business. As the years went on she became someone that I would call on my way to weddings, we’d catch up of course, but the call had another mission; she wanted to know everything she could about the couple that was getting married! By the end of the call, I would be joining her in prayer for the couple! She would pray for their future, for their children, and for their marriage. Her last couple with me was Janine + Ben in Jan. 2023. 

I dedicate this business to my grandma
