Here Bianco tells us about her photography business: 


My love for photography all began when my nephew was born.  I found myself always carrying around my camera and taking pictures of “anything” he did,  and that was and still is fun, but that is not how the passion was found.
My true passion for photography began after a heart wrenching breakup.  Ugh, don’t you just dislike that part of life!!  I was crushed, devastated, and in mourning…..for months!!!  I would wake up every morning, look in the mirror and think “girl, you gotta get over this” so much easier said than done right?  I decided I needed to get out of the house, but I’m the type of person when something is bothering me, I would rather be alone than drag everyone down.   I would go for rides, go to the mall (retail therapy is not really my thing either) and of course go visit my nephew – he is THE one person in the whole world that can take my mind off of anything!!!   I was great when I was with “my Jack”,  but the moment I was back at home, the tears came streaming down.  This feeling was getting so old, I couldn’t even stand to be around myself any longer, I seriously missed myself, the happy go lucky girl that I usually am.   I made a commitment to myself, that every day I was going to head out and take pictures of anything beautiful.  You should have seen the “beautiful” squirrels I captured:)  Yes, I was finding the beauty in everything and anything that God put on this earth and I felt something changing inside of me. I was noticing the bee’s on the flowers, the smell of the salt in the air at the beach, the sounds of secluded parks, just how tall the trees really are when you lie on your back and look up,  and most importantly the peaceful feeling within.
After a few months of my nature adventure, I had a thought that I would like to photograph a baby.  Not having any children of my own, babies are so magical to me.  I love to stare at them and ponder on the true miracle they are.  At 40 years old, I didn’t  have any friends with newborns,  so I called my younger brother and asked if he had any friends with a new baby, to my surprise he said yes.  A few phone calls later, and I was at his buddy Kyle’s house taking pictures of his sweet newborn baby boy, Kyler!   What an incredible 4 hour experience.  I had no idea what I was doing quite honestly, but I did know how to handle a baby with care, so I just went with my instincts throughout the entire session.   I was happy  (they were probably ready to kick me out of their house after the 1st hour) but I wasn’t leaving until I knew what I had envisioned in my head (which was a baby in a basket:)), come to life!  They were the nicest couple and knew I was doing this, just to do it!!
When I arrived home and loaded those images on my computer, I broke down in tears, and it was THAT moment I realized I found my TRUE PASSION in life – WOW!!!! What an unbelievable feeling.
