MEET
PAULA
The person behind the lens
I'm so glad you're here. Truly.
I'm Paula -- wife, mama, Navy veteran, Jesus-lover, and the heart behind Fireside Photo Co. My journey with photography began the day my daughter was born. I picked up a camera because I didn't want to miss a single breath, smile, or miracle in her life. Somewhere along the way, documenting her childhood opened my eyes to the beauty woven through everyone's stories.
And now? I get to capture yours.
I'm here for the small moments that feel big later: the quiet squeeze of a hand, the laughter you fall into, the way love softens a face. My approach is gentle, warm, and movement-filled -- so you can relax, be yourself, and actually enjoy being photographed.
Let me create the images you'll cherish ten, twenty, thirty years from now -- the ones your family will hold onto long after the moment has passed.
IF WE WORK TOGETHER, HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME:
-
A calm, encouraging presence.
-
Gentle direction rather than stiff posing.
-
A focus on connection, emotion, and movement.
-
Photos that feel like you -- honest, warm, and deeply meaningful.
Ready to begin your story? Send me a message. I'd love to meet you.
