All About PhotoBox Studios

Hey Yall!

My name is Demetria Kelly and I am the owner of a little business called PhotoBox Studios. I am an artist, crafter, and photographer, but my main focus is photography. 

I purchased my first camera when I was 18 years old and I knew next to nothing about photography. In fact, the only thing I seemed to get right was pointing the camera at what I wanted to photograph and press the button. No depth of field, no manual mode, nada! After several years of trial and error, I had gotten pretty good at it. So good, in fact, that a neighbor asked me to photograph her wedding! It went well and the photos turned out great, but the nerve racking experience made me realize that I needed training. So, I enrolled at my local community college, and after two years, I transferred to the Art Institutes of Pittsburgh. 

Now, with more training, I was confident in my new field and moved into the field of amateur photography. For models, I recruited most of my 28 nieces and nephews (a lot, right?) and a couple of my great nieces and nephews. I began honing my craft, photographing and advertising my future business to everyone i knew, building a clientele base. At last, I had the confidence and experience to go professional. And several more years later, here I am.

My specialty: Portrait photography. My services: family, newborn, couples, and event sessions
