the great adventure of JessieCrea Photography
HI! I'm Jessie Crea Hoffeditz, mother (sister, daughter, aunt)
photographer, and hugger!!!
I've been shooting since childhood, as soon as I could
handle a lil point-and-shoot, my parents got me one!
I remember my old Pentax. I used her for black-and-white photography
using kodak black and white film. It was so fun and her images were so fanciful! I gradually advanced to the digital realm of cameras.
Canon has always been my favorite!
Throughout my younger years, I was self-taught, using books, magazines, videos... whatever I could fill my noggin with. I was blessed with a great mentor during my younger years who really helped me bloom! (I PRAISE THE LORD FOR YOU MR DAVE!) Eventually, I started taking portraits, working with models, doing shoot-outs, selling prints, auctioning off prints for charity, and having gallery showings.
It was a huge learning experience!
I'm grateful for it all!!!!
Some hard years hit, and my dear old " Pepper " (my old camera) sat on the shelf... for nearly 10 years! Until one day...God literally sent what felt like a little electrical jolt through my body to my brain and RE-LIT my "SPARK"! But when I picked up "Pepper" , she was no longer working . After much PRAYER and seeking wise council from my mentors; I did something crazy - I asked for sponsorship (to be able to afford new gear and fresh education) through a post on Facebook.
YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!!!
Within 24 hours I had delivered to my doorstep
EVERYTHING I needed to begin the ADVENTURE!!!
(ANONYMOUS Donators - I can never THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!)
God HEARD my prayers! HE ANSWERED ME LOUD & CLEAR!!!
My sweet sweet Jesus gave me the gift to DREAM again!
To SEE BEAUTY in everything, everywhere!
So I gave it ALL back to Him.
This is why I choose to opt OUT of "the business" side of things,
and I am NOT in competition with others!
I just want to SERVE those in need with my GOD-GIVEN TALENTS, showering them in GENUINE LOVE & RADIANT JOY!!!
I want to bring each of them precious moments in
God's beautiful creation, all while getting the chance
to encourage and uplift them!!!
AND HERE WE ARE!
