We had the good fortune of connecting with Naomi Davis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Naomi, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Time is something I value as a creative.  So I honestly didn’t have a thought process or plan behind starting my business, I just took the steps as soon as possible and went for it! Photography is something I’ve always had a keen eye for, it’s my creative outlet and I wanted to jump in as soon as I had the opportunity.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Since I can remember, I’ve been taking photos. Whether it was on my mom’s flip phone or my grandma’s Cyber-Shot hand-held camera, I was clicking away. Once my family (quickly) got annoyed with my photos taking up their storage, my parents decided to put me in a photography class I would take over the summer at a local college. I was probably 10 at the time and going to a school over summer did not sound enticing to a 4th grader but I was dragged to go anyways. Long story short, I LOVED it. Ever since then I’ve been the designated picture-taker of the family and no further complaints were filed. Jump forward to senior year of high school, I got my first professional (beginner) camera and Flicks By Nae was born!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d like to dedicate this interview to my parents for seeing my creativity & sourcing me with outlets to use my gift in a variety of ways. Thank you for everything! xoxo!
