The History

Chances are, if you're reading this, you already know about Dot Photography and the the photographer, Ameroy (hey, that's me!).  But, in case you're new to Dot Photography....

I think I've always had a love affair with photography.  When I turned 14, I was able to purchase my first SLR camera (and I worked for it, which made it mine).  I was always with my camera.  It was either always around my neck or in my backpack.  It came with me into my high school journalism class.  And, with the help of a wonderful journalism teacher, I found my calling, realizing that I could do this as a career. 

And then, life happened.  I had bills, and being a full time student who could not pass her French class to keep her GPA up to continue to be in school, I was put into a job that had nothing to do with photography. 

It wasn't until after my Mamaw passed away, that my 14 year old cousin & I went on an adventure to try to get our minds off of things and have a good time; we went all over Warren, Allen and Grayson county, just taking pictures. I put some of the pictures up on Facebook, and from there, Dot Photography was born.

Why Dot Photography? 
My Mamaw's name was Dorothy.  In a journal titled, "Mom, Tell Me Your Story," she had written that her mother called her Dot as a little girl.  I couldn't have a better name.
