Hi, I am Whitney Minten. I am an award-winning children's Fine Art photographer, wife and mother to three amazing children. My children have transformed me into the woman and artist I am today. They are and will always be my motivation and muse in photography.
I produce images that exude personality and emotion. I’m passionate about photographing children and recording all those funny, serious, happy, playful expressions that define who they really are. Raising three children has equipped me with a few ‘tricks’ for how to get their personality to shine! I generally receive their full attention during a shoot and I believe my images showcase that connection I make with each person. I’d love to capture your children as I see them, in a relaxed, fun, unique style that sets my images apart from other photographers.
My Experience
I have several degrees in biology, computer science and robotics. While at university and as part of several robotics startups, I wrote code to control robots and their various sensors, including cameras. I also trained experts on how to use these robots in a variety of settings, from search and rescue workers operating in a disaster, to astronauts training on the seafloor. I worked for several years at an optical spectrometer company where I programmed spectrometers and learned the physics behind light and color at their most fundamental levels. Later, I taught Photoshop and graphic design as an adjunct professor. Yet, it wasn’t until after I became a mom that I picked up a camera for the purpose of creating art. This unconventional career path allows me to bring to bear a diverse technical background that promises a unique depth to my work.
