Hometown Holler: Dalton Ln. Photography

Jessica Sharpe just recently moved back into the area. And I fell in love with the look of her photography ( and she happens to have a cutie on the spectrum too). So Jessica and I have spent several evenings talking about all kinds of things, including her awesome business.

• So Jessica, tell us about yourself!

I am a wife, mother and photographer. And while I am many many other things, crafty, creative, a great cook… Those first three are the titles I love the most.
I want to take your child, who you can never get a picture of, and make you speechless. I want you to see your husband who hates having his pictures taken, and know, when that image was shot, there is nowhere else he would rather be than there with you in that moment. I want to capture that! I will not give you the pictures on your Grandmother’s mantel. But I will give you a little piece of art that tells a story, your story.

•  What made you get into photography?

I, like every other photographer I know, have always loved my camera, but I "got into it" when my husband Jessi deployed for the 2nd time. He was with the 4 Eng BN out of Ft Carson, Colorado. At first I was just getting by everyday. Then they moved him from Iraq to Afghanistan (He was part of one of the largest troop movements in history  and when that happened we were seeing pictures of them everywhere, it was comforting. So I thought if those little snip-its on the news made me feel so much better, even when it wasn't even him we were seeing, just knowing they all were OK was comfort, that he shouldn't miss a second with our boys! I went to the PX bought a camera, and had it with me all the time!

 

 

 

• What do you feel is your specialty?

Right now I mainly shoot from toddlers to seniors, as well as couples. However I hope to one day specialize in Special Needs Photography, it holds a very big place in my heart!

•  What makes you stand out from the rest?

My love of kids! They are so fun, I will take two sugared up toddlers running wild during a shoot over a sweet sleeping newborn any day (that's not to say I don't love those newborns all the same, but there is something about a child having fun that gets me every time!)

• Where does the name came from?
We named Dalton Ln after our sweet boys Lane Edward & Dalton Walker!
