ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF

Meet the Photographer; Viv Branding Session at Beacon Hill for Moon and Marble Photography

Hiiiii, I’m Vivolyn!

Enneagram 7. ENFP. Scorpio Sun & Rising, Capricorn Moon.

My friends call me Viv, my parents call me Beebs, and my husband calls me a doofus.

I’m an old soul who inherited my mother’s sense of childlike wonder. On any given day, you might find me sitting by a sunny window, philosophizing about the nature and purpose of our existence, or perhaps (and just as likely), doing kid things like climbing trees, rollerskating, longboarding - you get the idea.

At the age of 14, I began my journey armed with nothing but a little silver Canon point-and-shoot, curiosity, and a shutter-happy index finger. Other than the gear, the quality of my craft, and a few extra crinkles in the corners of my eyes, not much has changed.

Over the past 8 years, I have revelled in the joy of photographing moments of human connection. Whether that connection occurs between people in love, between family members, or someone simply getting back in tune with his/her/themself doesn’t matter to me.

It’s all my cup of tea! So, like… get in ma belly.

I’m a high school English teacher. Even though the little darlings constantly test my patience, I love this job. See, teaching is a lot like being a wedding photographer; as long as I’m prepared for the day and focus on the foundation of trust and connection we’ve built together, then Bob Marley called it: “Every little thing is gonna be alright.”
If you serve two pieces of toast with my meal, I’m going to make it a sandwich. This mostly applies to breakfast plates, but I’ve done it before with spaghetti and meatballs. I can’t help it, okay?! The real question is WHY was I served toast with spaghetti and meatballs in the first place? Think about that.
Compulsively searching for new music is one of my main personality traits. I try to make at least one new playlist each month. Here’s the latest…
