Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I’m Selina with Radiant Photography by Selina from Spokane, Washington. I’m a photography student, finishing the last quarter of a two-year AAS degree in photography. I’m venturing out to start my own photography business. I love photography. I have been taking photographs for many years; my first camera came from my parents on my 12th birthday where I got to first use it at a magic show that same day. I have been a hobby photographer documenting the lives of my children and loved ones over the years. I finally decided to pursue photography as a business because I love it so much and my husband and I want to be able to travel; and I can take my business with me wherever I go.
God has granted me the most valuable gift of all; I am joyfully called mom by two amazing humans. They are the light in my world and are who/what keeping me going every day. My son, Morgan, graduated from high school in 2017. He is preparing to move out on his own in the next couple of months with his girlfriend of nearly three years, Cassidy (whom we adore), while working full-time so that he can go to college when he’s ready. My daughter, Victoria, is currently a junior in high school; she loves to sing and is finding her voice in acting as well. I’m also a wife to Tony; we have been married for nearly five years. He keeps me hopping with spur of the moment changes in life – we have a lot of fun together as we travel this road called life.
My biggest passion, next to photography, would be scrapbooking and card-making, really any kind of craft appeals to me. I don’t have much time for my hobbies at the moment, but I will hopefully be able to restart that again.
This photography journey has definitely proven that I am a mom in everything I do. I find that I am most passionate about portrait photography. I love all aspects of it, especially making connections with people and building relationships. My specialties will be family, children, and senior photography with a smattering of weddings along the way. I especially enjoy working with teenagers – I had the privilege of photographing my daughter’s drama group this past winter during their winter production of Fiddler on the Roof, and have been having a wonderful time. These young people are fantastic, I find that being with them and building relationships with them is what fills my bucket. It’s where I feel most at home. I’m definitely a mom.
It is my goal for this blog to be the storytelling piece of my business. I hope to include bits and pieces of my life as well as the work that I am doing in our community; to share visual stories with you along the way. I welcome your feedback and am excited to get to know you along the way.
It is my hope that I can become the lifetime visual storyteller capturing all the love and life moments in your life. Thanks for joining me on this journey!
