"Clarissa Hoff: A Freelance Photographer"
Over the years I have come to love the art of photography. I really enjoy connecting with people and getting to know them.
One of the things I love most about photography is that I am helping others to make a statement in life. I can show who you are, who you were in the past, who you can be; as well as what is important to you. I use complementary elements interacting with the environment and each other, reflecting what makes you unique.

I first started taking photos of my family and friends.
As a mother of two boys, I found it was hard to get the kind of photographs I wanted. I wanted photos that showed how I saw my boys every day as they changed with expressions, actions, even the little looks I would see and things they enjoyed doing. This is why I want others to have the kind of photographs that are not just a picture of the year, but I want you to have a family treasure.
My family is the center of my life. God has blessed me and this is where it all started for me: Scrapbooking became a passion to me for about four years. I worked with family photos trying to cut, crop and document what the snapshots didn't always show. I love snapshot photos; they show action and expression. But, I wanted more from a picture. I wanted to mix it up and turn the snapshots into photography.
For years I had taken photos of holiday events, newborns first meeting family members, birthday parties, weddings and family reunions. Now, I have been working on loving moments of monthly photos as my grandchild grows :) I also love framed nature photographs. I have a passion for the outdoors and nature. I love to capture what is real, what is a dream and joy the in our hearts and soul.
