Starla Wise Photography voted “Best of Oakley” Photographer ~ Newborn baby, child photographer

I am so excited, honored, and thankful to have been given the gold award for best photographer in Oakley!  I sincerely thank everyone who so thoughtfully took the time to vote. Having a small business is such hard work and keeping it going and growing truly relies on word of mouth and loyal clients.  I cannot say enough how wonderful my clients are and how so many of you have become friends. Thank you to Brentwood Press for a wonderful article as well. You can check it out below or HERE in the Best of Oakley 2014 Issue

In the first weeks of a newborns life you will take hundreds of photos via your point and shoot, cell phone, Ipad, and of course the “expensive” camera you splurged on when you knew your little one was on the way.  Some will get printed, most will be locked in cyber space never to be seen again, and usually one lucky one out of the hundreds will be chosen as your screen saver or profile pic.  The images I capture from newborn through the milestones of sitting up, standing, and of course their first cake are meant to be displayed as a daily reminder not only for you but for your child as they grow to remember how amazing their existence is to you.  How in a world full of  big money, big fame, and all other grand things, nothing could be bigger to you than this one very small thing.  This is what I strive to do.

Thank you truly for inviting me to be a part of their early stages with you.  Thank you again to everyone, clients, friends, family, and fans for voting!
