Meet Your Photographer

10+ Years of Capturing Memories

Pauline Ford

Hi, I'm Pauline

Creative. Empath. A “look at the moon” kind of girl and a bit of a nerd. You can often catch me daydreaming or admiring how the sunlight hits the top of trees. Because of my early fascination with light, it’s no surprise that photography came naturally for me as I was growing up.

I actually found my love of photography through traveling. When I was a teenager, I started taking photos after my parents handed down a little point-and-shoot camera to use on a family trip. I can remember the first two photos I took with actual artistic intent—nature being my first subject—which launched me into photography as a hobby. A couple years later, I received my first DSLR as a graduation gift from my parents, and I began taking portraits.

No matter what else I was doing in life (marriage, starting a family, business school, marketing career), photography was always there to fill my soul. I photographed individuals, couples, families, and events. After more than a decade of taking photos, I finally decided it was time to fully focus on doing what I love. Photography isn’t just a hobby or a job—it’s a part of who I am.

I’m here to help you capture beautiful moments and turn them into art. Ready to document your story? Send me a message and let’s get started!

More than just your photographer

I’m also your…

Storyteller. Planner. Location Scouter. Hype Girl. Child Whisperer. Problem Solver. Friend.

Photographer is really just one of the many hats I wear. Need help finding the perfect location? I got you. Wardrobe malfunction? I’m on it. I care about the people I photograph and the stories I’m telling. This moment is about YOU, and I’ll always do everything I can to help you prepare, feel comfortable, and just enjoy the moment.
