I met Billie over 17 years ago when our paths crossed at the photo lab she managed. We bonded over many rolls of 35mm film and I loved discussing new creative ideas and techniques with her. When we needed to add a trusted member to our Vick Photography staff, I knew she would be the perfect fit. After 9 years on the team, she now manages our Vick Studios portrait and corporate clients and is one of our valued Team Photographers for both weddings and events. Now, without further adieu, let me allow Billie to tell you a little more about herself…
Photography is not just a career, but a lifelong passion. My camera is my ever trusty sidekick that comes along on all my life's adventures.
When it comes to weddings, I love the romance, glamour, and magic of the day. I value the relationships built with the couple and their families along the way. The mixing of cultures, friends and family, food and music, flowers and lace, laughter and tears, it is intoxicating. It touches my soul to witness the expressions of love unfold and it’s an honor to carry these lessons into my personal life journey.
I approach the wedding day as a silent observer, capturing the tender moments but I’m also there to help coordinate the wedding party when timing is most important. The photos I find most memorable are candid, where the camera becomes invisible and true expression is revealed. I always encourage my subjects to laugh and be silly, cry and be tender, be bold and dramatic, and at times be a little naughty. New spaces are exciting and I always take care to compose each scene and capture both the large and small details of the day. I genuinely cherish my time behind the camera preserving the precious memories of life, love, and kinship. I hope I can do so for you!
