Thank you for visiting PhotographyByGerry.com as you probably have guessed my name is Gerry Braatz. I have been passionate about photography for as long as a can remember, I was that kid that always stole the camera away from their parents at every family gathering or vacation. Over the years my passion & talent for photography grew as did my skill with programs such as Adobe CS4, so in early 2008 I decided to dive in head first and follow my dream of becoming a professional photographer. Because of my overall love for photography I found it very hard to label myself as a specific type of photographer. I didn’t want to be just a portrait photographer or a wild life photographer I want to do it all. Now it’s true I love taking photos of wildlife and nature, but at the same time capturing a couple’s first kiss or photographing the family pet is just as exciting to me. To be 100% honest I just enjoy taking pictures. If I had to pick a style that best fits me I guess it would have to be candid. I like for my pictures to look natural and not staged. While shooting I try to blend in with my surroundings and just let life happen. I don’t want your memories to look the way I want them to, I want them to look the way you intended them to. If you would like me to capture the next amazing moment please contact me by phone (352) 682 6925 or Email Me . Site Still Under Construction
