LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY
Chana Stuart: Capturing light, feelings, moments, & everything in between.
Welcome to my world of captivating imagery and visual storytelling. As a photographer, I aim to freeze moments in time, capturing the essence, emotion, and beauty that unfolds before my lens. My goal is to capture the raw energy and candid expressions in every session.
MY STORY
My journey to full-time photography was greatly influenced by my personal experiences. At the beginning of my career, I prioritized stability over pursuing my passion so I focused on a career in Speech Pathology because it was secure. It never quite satisfied my creative mind. My mindset shifted when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Though her diagnosis was very difficult for my family, our efforts to support her united us in a new and beautiful way. I saw small refractions of light peeking through the darkness, and I felt drawn to capture it. I dusted off my old camera, which had been sitting in the back of my closet for years. I did not know at the time, but I was beginning my journey to capture that light; I never looked back. My journey helped me realize the brevity of life, the beauty in the 'small moments', and the importance of following one's dreams. With the encouragement of friends, family, and clients, I took the leap, and transformed my passion into a thriving business.
MY JOURNEY
I discovered my passion for photography at a very young age, and I have mastered my skills through this endeavor. I am excited to have turned this passion into a full time business. My journey has been an incredible adventure filled with memorable milestones. I've had the pleasure of photographing a summer camp in Washington state. Additionally, I have been requested by clients from out of state who book with me during their vacations.
PHOTO STYLE
I specialize in family portraits, couples, event photography and lifestyle shoots. My dedication lies in capturing timeless moments that preserve memories forever. My approach is centered on people, ensuring everyone feels special, beautiful, and confident. I use my camera to uncover the beauty in the simplest moments.
PHILOSOPHy
I believe that photography is not just about capturing the visible, but also the invisible—emotions, ideas, and concepts. The quote, "One should not only photograph things for what they are but for what else they are," deeply resonates with me. I incorporate principles like the rule of thirds, leading lines, symmetry, balance, and framing to create visually appealing and meaningful images.
BACKGROUND & TRAINING
I hold a Bachelor degree and have completed a specialized photography course that has significantly enhanced my skills. My formal training and extensive background in photography have allowed me to deliver high-quality work that my clients love and cherish.
THE MOMENT IS NOW
Let's preserve it all, creating timeless art that will last forever. We can freeze more than a moment in time. We can freeze your story – for eternity.
