We were lucky to catch up with Sarah Elizabeth Wymer recently and have shared our conversation below.
Sarah Elizabeth, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Do you think your parents have had a meaningful impact on you and your journey?
My parents not only gave me freedom to dream but gave me a space to create and pursue. Anytime there was an audition my parents, and grandma always made sure I made it, no matter how far away it was. Anytime I was trying to film a movie they willingly would step in as actors or even make available room for me to direct a crowd in our home. They believed in me fully and it’s allowed me to never give up on myself. One thing I truly admire most of all is their honesty, in my photography work and in my films. It’s paved a beautiful path in how I’ve developed as an artist.
Sarah Elizabeth, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m an obnoxious, careless, ambitious individual all in a beautiful way!! I started taking pictures and creating a name for myself in 2016 when my husband bought me my first camera. I initially did a lot of free sessions just to get a portfolio and would do makeup for my clients as well. I believe through my confidence in my own work, I was able to grow my business fast. “Sarah Wymer Photography “ eventually turned into “Timeless Pics and Clips by Wymer&Co.” and my work was just recognized by looking at a picture itself. I started getting into videography a few years into my business and fell even more in love with the eye it takes to develop something beautiful in motion. And through video , I decided to take a film class which helped guide me into my acting career and getting signed with a Talent Agency! Most of my time is put into my senior photography. Not only taking a senior picture but getting to know them and creating visuals that define who they are so they can reminisce that for the years to
come. I also have been blessed with many beautiful families in front of my lens and weddings! I actually trained my husband to be my second photographer so he helps out a lot.
Some struggles I’ve faced along the way all come from not being as competitive as I should be. I’ve taken a path of trying to help
my fellow friends within the same business and encourage so many to pick a camera up. I don’t regret it, because that’s the neat thing about the creative’s career , we all have a different eye and a different way at our craft.
I’m most proud of my ability to never stop till I reach my goals. My drive and understanding is something that sets me apart from the rest. I know my work is different, my talent is different from others and that’s what my clients see.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
On top of all of my work, I’m a mother of 4. All 4 of my kids are gifted and creative; every time they see mom’s work or her auditioning in the dining room, or her singing a song in front of a crowd, I know they’ll be dreamers just like me. I know they’ll have goals that they know won’t be impossible because their mom achieved “the impossible”. To me, there’s no greater reward than seeing your child know they can achieve anything they want in this world. That they don’t have to be held down by society that thinks entertainment, art, music, or creativity is an irresponsible form Of work.
Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can provide some insight – you never know who might benefit from the enlightenment.
We are all different and have different aspirations. As a creative it’s hard to describe what goes on in my brain all day. Some things good and some bad. A lot of people will take those thoughts and maybe journal them or distract themselves, I use them. I’ve realized some of my negative thoughts have created my best songs, best movies, and best portraits. I’d say its my form of “journaling” and “therapy”.
Many non-creatives might watch a movie that had bad reviews and think, what’s the point, but I know the amount of work that goes into something like that.
We look at pictures of art and might believe it’s over the top or silly but I see someone else’s thoughts within all of it.
I truly believe any non-creative can become creative, but most importantly I believe anyone can be anything they want to be.
