Hi there! I am Regina

✨ As a self-taught freelance photographer, teacher, and owner of Studio R Photography in Northeastern Pennsylvania, photography is my passion. I always strive to capture that next best shot, and I rarely leave home without my camera. I'm constantly scouting new places to explore and photograph.

✨My interest in photography began at a young age, as my uncle was a portrait photographer with a studio in Queens, New York. He often showed me his cameras and lenses and taught me how to develop film. When I was 13, he bought me my first digital camera - an Olympus Stylus 300 3-Megapixel. I fell in love with the instant gratification of seeing the photo immediately, unlike with film, and that's when I became hooked on photography.

 ✨During high school, an art teacher took an interest in my photography and encouraged me to pursue my passion. I entered my first art show in tenth grade and won first place, which was an incredible feeling. From then on, I made photography a part of my life and never stopped learning or enhancing my skills. I always strive to make my next photograph better than the last. I have had the honor of having my work showcased on IMDB, on Amazon Prime, and in the local publication "Pocono Living," as well as in the online magazines "Bold and the Beautiful Magazine" and "Shutter Up Magazine." In 2024, my photograph titled "Seagull Under the Pier" received the Best in Show Award at the Gurwin Annual Photo Contest.

✨When I am not working behind the camera, I am found in front of the classroom. My primary occupation is that of a kindergarten teacher, a role that has greatly facilitated my ability to establish meaningful connections with my clients.

✨I love photography because it helps preserve a moment that may never happen again. Every photograph has a story, and I want to help you tell yours! Let's connect!
