About Misti
I have been a photography enthusiast since I was a child. Shooting with a little instamatic left over from the 1960′s my mom gave to me,
I enjoyed that instant gratification of pushing the button and knowing I had captured something forever. I recently came across a photograph of myself as a 4 year old flower girl. Nothing spectacular of course beyond how cute I was but oddly enough the only photos where I’m smiling are those where I have a camera in my hand.
Later, much later of course, I learned I could actually manipulate that captured moment and make it more beautiful, completely surreal or catch the ambiance and feeling of that moment. Forever. A loved ones smile. Forever. This is just the most amazing thing. I can remember a lifetime from those photos with over 20,000 photographs in albums that I utterly cherish more than any other possessions.
I started modeling at 16 and worked with many different types of photographers from Chicago to New York as well as assisting. This experience helped in my communication skills within the “model”/photographer relationship and also learning and understanding how the human form, male or female, looks its best. I know feedback is incredibly important and my job is to make you feel comfortable primarily above all else. I want you to walk away thinking “Ohh, that was fun.” I know the photos will be fine if I can get you to relax. I can’t even say how many times my clients have hugged me after the job was done and photos still in the camera.
I’m a lucky girl. I hope that my photographs touch your heart, make you laugh, make you think, make you dream and maybe even cry in a good way.
