We were lucky to catch up with Derick Roberts recently and have shared our conversation below.
Derick , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Going back to the beginning – how did you come up with the idea in the first place?
I came up with the ideal to get into photography one day after I watched/paid for a photo shoot for my dog but I never fully pursued it until after I lost my father Nov “21 my head was all over the place at the time i didn’t know what to do and we had a hard time finding the pictures that we needed and wanted of him and that’s when I watered the seed of photography.
I knew photography was for me when I got my camera and couldn’t put it down literally taking it everywhere with me taking pictures of any and everything. I knew I could succeed because of the passion I feel for photography and for learning all things photography

Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My mission is to help create meaningful memories because life is short an things blindside you and it hurts when you don’t have any documented memories
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
At the moment I don’t have a large social media following but I can tell you don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. There are always groups of people doing what your doing you just have to find them and never be afraid to do service for a service and do free or discounted services whatever makes the most sense to your process
