8 Years Strong Thanks to you!

Back in the fall of 2017, a friend of mine asked me to take photos of their family. That’s when JD Silva Photography LLC was born. In just 9 years, a lot has changed. I wouldn’t recognize the person who started this business today. Even though I’ve grown over the years, my passion for high-quality photography that respects the craft for what it truly is has always been at the heart of who I am.

The session that started it all

To be honest, I started my photography business because I love photography. Ever since I could hold a camera, I’ve had one. From developing disposable cameras to 110, 35mm, DSLR, and even my beloved Sony Alpha Mirrorless! As I progressed, the equipment got more expensive. Eventually, more and more people wanted me to take their photos, so I knew I had to start my own business and do things right.

Guess what? I absolutely LOVE being a small business owner right here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Running the business is almost as fun as photography itself! It’s true that when you love what you do, you don’t work a day in your life.

I’ve spent years refining my business processes and systems to create the most wonderful experience for you! Booking a session is super easy. It’s just a few clicks, a 15-minute chat, and you’re all set to book your own session at the time that works best for you!

EASY PEASY!

I know that as a busy business owner, you don’t have the time or patience to plan all the details of a photo session out. So, I ask a few questions to get an idea of your vision and current branding strategy. I create a vision board on Pinterest and plan the session around the intended mood of your marketing.

I’ve studied color theory and how it relates to branding and marketing in great detail. I even passed the Certified Professional Photographer test from the Professional Photographers Association. All these details and more go into my behind-the-scenes preparation of your session. 

Many people ask me what keeps me going year after year. Honestly, it doesn’t feel like nine years have passed. I wake up each morning determined to live up to my full potential as a photographer, business owner, and most importantly, an artist.

Photography is art, and it’s the way I’ve discovered the easiest way to express my soul. A picture is worth a thousand words, and a single image can convey so much. The joy and fulfillment I feel behind my camera are almost indescribable. I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who have supported me throughout my journey. I couldn’t have achieved this without your unwavering encouragement.

There have been times when I’ve felt like giving up, but I knew that the breakthrough would come. I know that many of you reading this may be in a similar situation in your own small business endeavors. I want to urge you to keep igniting that passion that sparked your journey in the first place! You are not alone, and you don’t have to carry this burden on your own shoulders.

I would be delighted to connect with anyone who is willing to share their story.
