The Photographer
I was born to take pictures, I think it's in my genetics!
My Story
Hello and thanks for stopping by! My name is Adrianne and here's a bit about me ...
I have loved photography for as long as I can remember. In 8th grade we had to put together a 'pretend' business and mine was of course a portrait studio. I went on to get professional training at the University of Central Missouri, in Warrensburg, MO. Having this knowledge allows me to handle natural light situations, while also being capable of controlling the light when needed.
I enjoy every session so much I literally get a high after. It makes my world a happy place. Photography has given me such a purpose, to be able to be creative while exploring new (and old) places. My clients invite me into their lives (graciously) to celebrate and document their milestones.
Still curious ... there is more to me than just photography! I love being silly, playing board games, taking long walks with friends, and pizza. Yeah that's right pizza, it fascinates me how many different ways there are to make pizza! Taco, Hawaiian, pepperoni, deep dish, square, round, we could go on and on. My two favorite pizza places are Gino's East (in Chicago) and Spin Pizza. Yum! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
I love people. For me it is so interesting to find out what makes someone tick, what their history is or even hearing their favorite joke.
We are all different. I think this makes the world go round. Finding out why people do things differently than me fascinates me. I know they have a good reason I just didn't ever think of. And I totally think it's okay to disagree. Possibly one of my favorite sayings is ... Let's agree to disagree. Different things are right for different people. The world would be a pretty boring place if we were all the same. Thanks for reading, can't wait to meet you and hear more about you!

See those two beautiful ladies over there ---> They are the reason I am a photographer. My dad's mom always had pictures of the family taken and always bought the biggest package. I totally recommend that because after she passed we were going through her things and there were still copies of many pictures from Olan Mills that we could pass around and share.
My mom's mom took so many pictures and helped me gain the joy of taking a picture on a film camera, sending it off to the lab to be developed and waiting until they were ready (like a week later!) I remember she had pictures from all sorts of occasions (casual, travel, family visits) and all through her years. Going through her pictures back when I was younger with her was so much fun. And now I still have the opportunity to go through and look at them.
