Christy Brown Photography

Christy Brown Photography Photography-Outdoor natural Light Hi, I’m Christy Brown, A.K.A. “The Capable Chick”. I want to be your “Go To” photographer. So let’s begin……………….
(14)

This means nothing to you at this point but after you have read my blog I hope that will change. My intent is to give you enough information about me to ensure your comfort and confidence. Since the age of twelve, I have been captivated by the craft. Ice skating on the lake adjoining our property while snapping images of the magic of a winter day; capturing the sun setting on a warm summer evening

or snapping candid photos of family and friends were my favorite pass-times. Fast-forward ten years when I entered the work force……
I worked for small companies, large corporations, and the government, I was also self-employed. Working as an accountant, administrative assistant, office manager, realtor and other positions too numerous to list, I excelled in all of these positions and while I enjoyed and benefited from them, I never found them to be fulfilling. Traveling from the east coast to the west coast and to other countries over the next ten years gave me the opportunity to indulge in my favorite hobby, photography. I began experimenting with different cameras, techniques, lighting and all the facets involved in photography. I became captivated by the process. I took classes, reached out to professionals asking for advice. I researched and most important, I practiced and practiced and practiced. I read somewhere that “Taking photos is the only way to become a better photographer”, so I practiced and practiced and practice some more, honing my craft. I found other photographers and learned new techniques and guess what… I practiced some more. Now, many years later, I love the feeling I get when I capture my subject in the perfect light and see their personality come alive in my image. It is such a great pleasure to be able to give that “moment in time’ to my clients. Capturing the moment and the individuals’ personality with the perfect shot is a reward in itself. Seeing the pleasure and happiness on my clients’ face is the fullfilment I have sought. I have worked with hundreds of subjects and am always striving to improve. As I learn, I am broadening the scope of the services I provide. However, in order to always meet my objective, “The Perfect Shot”, I will not take on a project unless I know I can provide great memories. I am a creative, outgoing, positive person with a great enthusiasm for each project I undertake. The newborn, the toddler, the graduating senior; the family, the him, the her, the us; there is a magic moment in each one, it’s my job to see it and capture it for you. My goal as a photographer is to provide *Unique-Fun-Affordable* images of your life. And to keep practicing, practicing, practicing……………….. Sincerely,
Christy Brown
The Capable Chick

This shoot really hit home. I have known this amazing family for nearly 13 years. The boys went to preschool with Eme. It was an honor to tell their story and the fact that the Grandparents were there and they will have this keepsake forever warms my heart more than I can express. This video is long as I couldn't bring myself not to include all the photos but LOVE it! Thanks for choosing me Young Family to capture your memories. https://zenfolio.page.link/5tPnU

I've been busy capturing growing families in maternity sessions and Seniors getting ready to fly the nest. So heartwarming. Listen to this song to this mama's baby. I guarantee you won't be able to withstand shedding a tear while listening and watching this one!

Candid moments are my favorite memories to capture. I think having moments like these captured to look back on as they grow help us survive the teenage years! 😂 Let them be little, let them run, climb, get dirty and take the hugs and cuddles anytime/anywhere! Before you know it they are grown and you will find yourself looking at images like this, wondering where the time went but so grateful you have the memories and your story looking back at you as it was yesterday.❤️ Book your session today and I would be honored to tell “your story”.

Tis’ the season for Almond Blossoms! It has been freezing and raining off and on all week. Yesterday it was still raining at 1:30 PM and I was scared I would have to reschedule yet another shoot and I’m running out of rain dates… Suddenly, the skies cleared and the sun shined and I got to meet this beautiful family for a stunning session.❤️

The hardest part of processing school photos is choosing the images to edit! Most parents want the kids looking at the camera so that is what I give them. If I have extra time I throw in some candid's some funny some just so stinking adorable. This guy reminds me of a little Robert Redford!
