Chasidy Bryant | Photographer

I firmly believe each person was created to use their abilities to bless others, no matter the industry. Photography came to me at a time when I needed it the very most, almost as if I was created to do this. Even though I had no idea what I was heading into…it fit me, my personality, my strengths and over time it has just organically become who I am and its how I use my abilities to bless others.August 10, 2007 was the day that my father left this world. I don’t know how so much time has passed since. I miss him and because of this I realized we have very few family photos to look back on an even less of my father, unless it was an 8 second clip of him riding a bull in the rodeo. It truly depressed me years after his death that I had nothing to hold onto and remember the man he was, only by memory. To me that is not enough. So I choose to gift families with memories frozen in time that will last them forever. To me photography is not a job it is my gift of giving back to those who one day can look back and relive the memories of those we have lost. This is when and how Chasidy Shae Photography came about.

Emmanuel Okene | Entrepreneur & Creative

My interest in photography sparked during my sophomore year of high school back in 2019, but I didn’t get into photography seriously until the start of the global pandemic. In March 2020 I had the opportunity to take my cousin’s birthday photos. Even though I didn’t fully know what I was doing, I still used it as an opportunity to practice and learn. The pictures I had taken at the time came out somewhat good and I decided to take a bold step and post them on Instagram. I posted these not knowing what to expect but I still took the leap of faith. When I posted these pictures I received so much love from everyone. So many people were impressed by these pictures. From here I decided that maybe I should take this more seriously because I truly enjoyed what I was doing. I used the next few months to practice and perfect my craft. After I truly understood my purpose and craft, I founded my photography business! Read more>>
