Meet the Business Owner: Jeanine M.
Hi, I'm Jeanine McLeod, owner, primary photographer, and Chief Magic Maker at Cloud 9 Studios in Wesley Chapel, Florida.
As a mom myself, I know how quickly childhood changes. One minute they're learning to walk, and before you know it, they're growing into the people they're meant to become.
Since 2006, I've had the joy of helping families celebrate those moments, often watching the same children grow up through years of portraits.
I earned my Photographic Craftsman degree from Professional Photographers of America and wrote *Don't Blink: Capturing Your Child's Story Through Portraits* in 2019.
But what matters most to me isn't a perfectly posed photograph. It's creating an experience where children can be themselves, parents can enjoy the moment, and families leave with portraits that become part of their everyday lives.
My hope is that every child who grows up with Cloud 9 portraits in their home feels three things:
I matter here. I am loved here. I belong here.
