Hello all,
Welcome to the blog if you're new to Revoy Reflections!
I thought I would kick it off with our origin story.
Let's start all the way back to when I was eight years old. My dad bought my mom a Canon DSLR camera, and she loved it. I was her favorite model, naturally as an only child. I watched my mom take pictures and share them. I experienced how happy the photographs made other people. This made me fall in love with this form of Art.
To fast forward a bit I turned twelve years old, and my parents bought me a small blue Canon point & shoot camera. I took pictures of everything! It started as a hobby, then really grew into something that really impacted my life. I was a student photographer in high school, then once I went to college I kept up and started to teach myself about editing software and business/marketing. I graduated with my business degree then I opened Revoy Reflections shortly after in 2018.
Some folks ask me where the name came from and why. I chose Revoy because of my grandparents on my mom's side. They always inspired me to be hardworking and devoted. Reflections come from the practice of a small mirror in the camera that digitizing into an image. This is no longer in all cameras, but you get the picture ;) Every photograph is a reflection of what is in front of us.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing people look at something I took a photograph of and smile. I particularly enjoy candid mom That is why I started and that is why I keep going.
Thank you for reading!
