MY FIRST BLOG.......

Shutters' Blog is coming soon! Stick with me while I figure this out, well, while I try to find the time to figure this out!

In the meantime, let me pause for a second before running out of the door for more photos to explain a little about myself and Shutters. My name is Vanessa Zaroor and I grew up in Harrisonville, MO a small suburb of Kansas City. Through my middle and high school years I worked with my schools' yearbooks as a photographer, which began a passion that has continued ever since. As I graduated and moved into my college years at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, I began spending summers living in new cities (Los Angeles, CA and Marseilles, France) where I was greatly influenced by all of the new scenery and further travel opportunities. I began furiously taking landscape shots, and shots of my friends in our newly discovered surroundings.

As time passed I continued ‘shooting’ to ‘quench’ my passion of photography, which was further fueled by a great introductory photography/development professor my senior year of college who gave me my first taste of advanced PhotoShop editing and who encouraged me to continue working with my photos. In late 2005 I decided to form Shutters Photography with a long time friend and we began our pursuit of providing a fresh taste of photography to our local areas, mine being Kansas City and its suburbs. As of the beginning of ’08, I have taken over Shutters Photography, L.L.C. to better serve my clients and my focus areas of portraits (seniors, etc), sports, children, families, engagement/wedding and maternity pictures.

As mentioned before, my style is best described as ‘fresh’. I understand that many of your most treasured moments are those that don’t normally get captured in traditional (and sometimes stiff) photo sessions. I want to show the excitement of parents or a sibling holding a new addition to their family, and the spunk of a senior so close to graduations. In order to do so, my sessions are set and worked in a relaxed setting. I make it a point to bring your personality into a shoot to provide you with the most unique, and most appreciated, photos available.

I currently continue to cover Harrisonville, Missouri and Kansas City, Missouri areas, but am open to travel, just ask!
