History
Established in 2009.
I have been making photographs since I was a teenager in Australia. The magic of the darkroom captured me then, and has never let me go. Now, 25 years later my captures are digital, but the magic of photography remains.
Meet the Business Owner: Vanessa G.
Hello! I'm Vanessa Gilbert, the founder, owner, and designer behind VCG Photography.
I'm an artist, so I live in a big old house full of books, old photographs, crafts, and vintage finds. I love walking my dogs in the woods, coffee in the morning, wine in the evening, and going to the farmers market on Saturdays. My sauerkraut is legendary, and I can get orchids to bloom more than once.
My four children are my heart, and my granddaughter is my soul.
I've loved photography since I was a teenager in Australia, and began to pursue making all that I believe is good and happy in this life my vocation in 2009. I then went to the University of Akron, and graduated with my BFA/Photography in 2014. It's true, you're never too old to pursue your dreams!
