The Story of a Photographer
My name is Tracy Ubiera. I'm a South Florida Native, Small business owner, wife and mother of 3 of the most incredible human beings in the universe. I am a Creative at heart, always seeing the world thru my own unique view. Photography came into my life as a child via my Grandfather. I remember him always having a camera, or recorder and later inspired me to capture all of my experiences just as he did. While growing up, in school I collected boxes and boxes of photographs so while we didn't have cellphones to capture the fun of my youth, I still have all the evidence!! I always had a camera. It was sewn into my fabric. As if even then I knew the importance of capturing memories. When my Grandfather passed away in 2006, I inherited his entire collection of photo/video dating back to the 1960's. This gift is one of my life's greatest treasures. So much value in these memories burned into film. Priceless. Timeless. I keep in my heart that he would be excited about this career I've chosen following a passion I think we shared. My journey did not bring me directly into photography as a career as I worked many years in the corporate world. Got married to an incredibly talented artist, and started a family which led me to a different path. I became a stay at home parent. Using my photography now to capture my children's lives as I was very involved in their schooling and social lives. I received my first DSLR camera from my husband and decided to spread my wings a little in my community and started my business. I love what I do, so it doesn't feel like work. It's always exciting and fulfilling when I know I am giving to others the gift that I adore so much. So, in essence, I feel as though that is the mark I leave on the world. Moments that are fleeting but captured in time. The beauty in that is remarkable to me. The Passion I have for People and Love and Celebration is what drives me, and I hope everyone who ever works with me feels that too.
