A letter from the eyes behind the lens
Wow! Where do I begin?
I have loved Photography my entire life and have always held a secret spot for it in my heart. However, it wasn't until I had my son that I realized this is truly where I was meant to be. I have spent the last 8+ years creating memories, forming life long friendships and watching families grow. To say my heart is full would be an understatement.
My dreams are supported by a wonderful husband, three children and a rowdy Labradoodle; not to mention my amazing family, friends, and clients! I truly couldn't do what I love if it weren't for them supporting and encouraging me every step of the way.
The first question I am always asked is..."Why Photography?"
It's always an easy answer for me.
Because I LOVE it! I am truly spending each day of my life, living the 'American Dream.' Who wouldn't want to cuddle sweet babies all day, watch families grow, and be there to watch your eyes light up when you see what I've created. The entire experience is magical for me, every single time! Photography is the perfect outlet for my creative energy and I can't imagine a single day without picking up my camera, at least once.
I am so blessed to create a lasting relationship with my clients. Once I capture your memories, you truly do become a part of my "other" family. In fact, the majority of my closest friends began as clients. After my faith, and my family; Photography is my passion. I love being able to capture the tiniest details, the sweetest smiles, and even the temper tantrums and not so secret nose picks! (Which I am notorious for, by the way! You can almost always expect an outtake or two thrown in, for a few giggles!)
I chose to focus on Portraiture because it allows me to create a custom experience for each session and client. No two sessions
will ever be the same; I love that! I strive to create more than just a "picture." I want each and every one of my clients to "feel" when they walk by a canvas hanging on their wall or flip through their custom albums. Photography is so much more to me than a fancy camera and a good picture.
I look forward to capturing your favorite memories for years to come and I will just go ahead and say WELCOME TO THE STARLING PHOTOGRAPHY FAMILY! I cant wait to exceed every single one of your expectations and make things FUN while doing so!
In Him,
Kirsten [Starling] Mackie
