Hi everyone! My name is Jessica Posey…photographer, owner, employee, website admin, social media extraordinaire, etc for Poppies & Poseys Photography!
I used to identify myself as a carefree, fly-by-the- seat-of-my-pants, adventurous, free spirit. That is still mostly me but over the years and 4 children later, I have settled down quite a bit but I love how photography allows me to tap into my inner wild soul.
I have MANY passions in life! See list below for topics that I find interesting and/or enjoy:
- Photography
- My 4 beautiful kiddos
- OR Nursing
- Pizza
- Netflix shows
- Serial Killers
- COFFEE
- Memes
- Dancing
- Car singing
- Embarrasing my 10 year old daughter
- Paying it forward
- THE BEACH
I decided to take a chance on myself and follow my passion….and I am so GLAD I DID!
I have always loved photography. I documented the births and specials occasions of all my friend’s children. The milestones in all my kids’ lives. Over the years…I have grown, I have learned and I’ve grown into a photographer.
I no longer say, “I take pictures” but can proudly say “I am a photographer.”
So what is the difference between someone who takes pictures and a photographer. For me, it’s the confidence of walking into any lighting situation and knowing how to get the BEST photos my clients, no matter how challenging it may be. It means investing in myself, buying the best gear, going to the online training, asking questions in groups and forums, mentoring with other photographers and seeking out the knowledge from those best in the field. It is knowing my camera, knowing its limitations as well as its strengths and playing it’s strengths. A photographer is willing to take chance if that means learning something new.
For anyone who knows me, knows that my mind goes at 100,000 miles per hour! I get bored easily…so I am always looking for new and exciting ideas, locations and a new creative outlet. ADD is a bitch but its also pretty awesome when it comes to creativity!
So, long story short. If you’re looking for a fun, light hearted, crazy, mom-tog, who loves pizza and long walks on the beach…I am your chick and I can’t wait to meet you 🙂
