My name is Kay. I’m a 22 year old from Connecticut who discovered a passion for photography four years ago and is now lucky enough to call it her job.
I’ve always loved stories, reading them especially. There’s something about being able to come back to revisit a favorite story, because it’s been written down forever, that’s just so wonderful to me. One day I picked up a camera and discovered that rather than recording stories in words, I could capture them in pictures. I started at home, photographing everything in my yard, anytime my family was around. I would look for a memory that I knew I’d want to remember forever, and I’d freeze it in the frame. Looking back through my albums and folders of pictures, I feel like I’m reading the story of my life over and over again.
I soon realized that I could do this for other people. I could use my passion for capturing memories to help others remember their stories. I could photograph that father and daughter dance at a wedding as he holds tight to someone who will always be his baby girl. I could preserve the memory of how tiny a newborn is; two years later I’d freeze the giggling innocence of that sweet face; and eventually the day they accept their diploma I could be there capturing the proud smile that lights up their face. But most of all, I could put together a story with my pictures that people would come back to time after time to relive. I believe every moment deserves to be preserved and I find as much enjoyment in helping write the story of these moments as you do “rereading” them in years to come.
Your stories are my inspiration. My photos are the narration.
Walker Studios began with two sisters and their passion for art. Amy graduated from Paier College of Art in Hamden, CT with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Kay graduated from Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT with a Bachelors in English, but after realizing behind the lens is where she wanted to be, Kay began to pursue her love for photography. In January 2012, Amy and Kay put their heads together to start up Walker Studios LLC, diving into the art world looking to spread paint and photography as far as they can reach. Amy did some photography training to enhance her skills and now the two sisters work side by side photographing portraits, events, engagements, and their ultimate favorite -weddings! When they don’t have a camera in their hands it’s a paintbrush instead- creating murals and art for residential or commercial properties. They are blessed to have had their business grow so much in the first few years and it’s all thanks to you! Networking and friendly word of mouth is the greatest marketing tool that has ever existed. Follow them through social media to keep up to date on what they are doing next and don’t forget to check out their galleries to see their portfolios of work.
