Meet Alanna Roberts, the creative force behind Raw Beauty Creative. From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of storytelling, a gift passed down to me by my grandfather. Growing up as a serial artist, I discovered my passion for sharing stories through any means possible.
At just 13 years old, I fell head over heels for photography and writing. As a homeschooled kid with boundless creativity and a supportive family, it was commonplace to find me burning the midnight oil, crafting short stories or editing snapshots taken with my mom's trusty Canon point-and-shoot camera. Back then, PicMonkey was my faithful companion, though we've since gone our separate ways—opting for more sophisticated tools to elevate the stories I tell today!
My journey to where I am today has been a winding one, marked by diverse experiences that have all led me here. From my beginnings as a hairstylist, where I honed my skills in marketing and design to nurture my client base, to collaborating with small businesses and non-profits to amplify their brands and narratives—photography has been the constant thread weaving through every chapter of my career. Whether I was meticulously editing images to restore their true vibrancy or capturing candid moments in various settings, I was always behind the lens, crafting visual stories.
Embracing the title of "photographer" was a leap of faith, accompanied by bouts of imposter syndrome. Yet, it has proven to be one of the most rewarding decisions of my life, pushing me to grow in ways I never imagined possible.
Today, I have the privilege of immersing myself in the raw, authentic beauty of people's lives and stories. Reflecting on how far I've come as a storyteller fills me with gratitude for everyone who has supported and entrusted me with their narratives.
