People often ask me how I got into photography, whether it was something I always wanted to do and how my little business came about. Here is that story...

I have always loved photography. My Mother was a photography hobbyist so I grew up with a camera in my face. As a kid I was always the friend with the camera taking photos and getting rolls and rolls of film developed. I took a film photography course as a teenager and the magic of the darkroom cast its spell on me and I knew I would forever have a camera in my hand.  I loved photography but never thought of it as a career path. When I was pregnant with my daughter I made the decision to buy a fairly expensive camera and I vowed to learn how to use it properly. Documenting my baby growing up made me fall in love with photography in a whole new way. All these amazing moments with my baby were passing by in the blink of an eye, leaving me with memories and photographs, and it was then that I truly felt I understood the power of photography. People began to see me sharing my own photos on Facebook and people began to ask me if I would take pictures for them. My photography made a natural progression from there and soon after Pennie Hall Photography was born.

I have devoted hours upon hours photographing, studying and educating myself of all things photography. I have invested in many workshops with world renowned photographers such as Kelly Brown, Sue Bryce and so many more. I have met amazing photographers who have helped me along the way and I try to give that back to those new to the industry where I can.

January 2025 will mark TEN years of Pennie Hall Photography. I am hoping to implement some BIG exciting changes next year that I hope you will be a part of. ;)
