Today we’d like to introduce you to Patty Othon.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
My 20+ years as a photographer began with a film course in high school. I continued taking photographs in college, mostly for fun, with my children as the subject. I had never really considered photography as a career until my son had been signed to a talent agency, in which I was his photographer. Before I knew it, I was hooked and immersed myself into honing my skills in photography. I spent hundreds of hours gaining experience while building my portfolio, learning Photoshop and the business aspects before I was ready to transition my hobby into a career. Learning something new every day was and is an exciting and core value of mine. Over the years, my focus has grown into exclusively documenting expectant mothers and their beautiful babies. This passion brings me the most joy. It is my own therapeutic remedy. Newborn photography is a craft and I absolutely love creating custom, classic, and timeless heirloom imagery for families.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has been a wild journey getting to where I am, but I feel incredibly fortunate. To have turned my passion for photography into a successful business — that is luck. One of the things I have enjoyed the most about my job is meeting new people and having the opportunity to capture my clients each year and see their families grow. The most difficult aspect is finding the right balance between work and family
Patty Othon Photography – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I have been an award-winning professional photographer for six years, specializing in maternity, newborn, and baby portraiture. I photograph mothers and their newborns throughout the toddler years. Capturing those first images of a newborn baby is such a special event and I am always honored to share this moment with parents. My goal is to express the love they have for their child through the images I capture — with each and every detail.
I have spent many years mastering the art of studio photography. With years’ of experience under my belt, I am most proud of contributing classic and timeless heirlooms to families.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Growth, education, passion, work ethic, consistency, integrity, trust.
