Corey Civetta: Spotlight Photography #3
May 1, 2008
Name: Corey Civetta
I live in: right outside Atlanta, GA

Blog: www.coreycivetta.com/blog
How long have you been in business? 3.5 years
How long have you been shooting senior sessions? I shot a few random seniors when I first started my business, but I’ve been focusing on them more the past 1.5 years. They are definitely my favorite!
Describe your style: Fresh, funky, and FUN! I am definitely not into traditional senior portraits with oversized numbers and swings covered with fake flowers. GAG! I take more of a fashion approach and love to try new things! I am also very laid back and love to goof off!
Your drug of choice: Canon or Nikon? Canon
Your most embarrassing photographer moment: Recently, I was digging around in a closet to look for something before a session. My make up artist and I were talking to my client once she arrived when all of a sudden my MUA “smoothes” the side of my hair and said something about frizzies. Later, she told me I had a rather large dust bunny on the side of my head!
Oddest thing you take on a shoot or have in your camera bag: The Gary Fong lightsphere thing gets me plenty of weird looks …
One thing you cannot live without? Definitely my kids. I love ‘em to pieces.
What or who inspires you? My faith, my family, and pretty much everything I come in contact with.
5 things you have to have on a senior session:
- excitement + creativity = lots of fun
- gum - my way of freshening up before a session
- bottled water
- real shoes (afraid to wear flip flops because I climb a LOT during sessions)
- some sort of funky chair
Most visited website or blog: flickr.com - love all the variety and inspiration over there!
Things I still feel I need to learn: I’d love to learn more about Photoshop because I am definitely not using it to it’s full potential.
My guilty pleasures: Sugar-Free Dove Dark Chocolates with Raspberry Creme - YUM - and of course, almost anything from Starbucks.
How do you stay focused and or organized? What?! I’m supposed to do that? Great. I think I need to add that to the “things I still need to learn” …
Weirdest thing in your car: Hmmm … with 4 kids, anything is possible! Maybe my air freshener that has Kip holding a LaFawnda sign (Napoleon Dynamite).
Your favorite reality show: So You Think You Can Dance - I can’t wait for it to start up again!
The newest fashion craze that you LOVE or HATE and why: I LOVE the longer tees and the longer shorts but some of the babydoll shirts are far from flattering.
What’s in your ipod? A huge variety - I can’t even begin to list all of the styles. I especially love music I can dance to, though - slow or fast.
Your favorite beauty products? Anything Arbonne - amazing products!
If you were a F*R*I*E*N*D who would you be and why?
Rachel, Monica, Phoebe. Ross etc. Hmmm …. I’ll choose Phoebe. She cracks me up and I love her songs … lol
Your secret desire for 2008: Non-photography related, I’d really love to finish choreographing a song I have had on my heart for over a year now. I am going to dance it while my oldest daughter “signs” it. As far as my business goes, I really do need to work on that focused and organized thing … LOL

Corey is the bestest. I truly love her work and I love her kiddos. I’m the nanny/ assistant/ whatever she can think of at the time and she has truly been a blessing in my life. Her business is growing and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for her the rest of this year.
Love Corey! She’s such a refreshing inspiration. I love her style and even more, her attitude. Congrats on the spotlight, Corey. Well deserved!
