Meet Corinne Walker:
How did you first get started in photography/content creation?
- My husband, Nic, gifted me my first DSLR camera one Christmas, and I began finding joy in photography while he was away on his first military deployment after we had our daughter, Reese. He deployed for nine months when she was just under a year old, and I took tons of photos to capture the little moments and milestones he couldn't be with us for. What started as a way to share those memories with him quickly grew into a love for photography and storytelling.
Is there a particular shoot or moment with Petite Keep that you’ll never forget?
- One of my favorite shoots with Petite Keep was putting together our wedding trunk and sharing it with our daughter. Watching her look through our photos and keepsakes and hearing her sweet reactions was such a wonderful way to walk down memory lane together. It was a special reminder of why I love capturing these moments in the first place.
What’s your go-to ritual before starting a shoot or creative project?
- I like to begin by thinking about the message we are trying to share and then put together a loose concept and shot list. Most of the time, once I start shooting, the project takes on a life of its own, and I adapt along the way to incorporate new ideas that pop up. I love that balance between planning and letting creativity guide the process.
What’s a keepsake you personally treasure, and why?
- I’d have to say my flower girl dress. My aunt handmade it for me when I was a flower girl in my cousin’s wedding, and it has turned into a really special family tradition. Our niece, Greta, wore it in our wedding, and our daughter, Reese, wore it in my brother’s wedding. It’s a beautiful keepsake full of happy memories and love that spans generations.
What’s your current coffee/tea order that powers your shoot days?
- I'm a coffee girl, and our Nespresso machine at home keeps me going.
If your creative style had a theme song, what would it be?
- 'll say "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles. It's warm and hopeful, and I think conveys the joy of the everyday moments that make life so special.
You’re stranded on a desert island and can only bring one camera and one lens — what are they?
- My Canon EOS R6 and 35mm lens!
How did you first get started in photography/content creation?
- Photography! Forever one of my favorite subjects. Let me start out by saying I have ZERO formal training and have never taken a photography class in my life BUT I had a strong desire to take beautiful photos that captured all the little details of my childrens lives. I share often that I am in a constant state of learning so never be intimidated to pick up a camera and just start shooting! I am probably not much different than most moms in that I want to capture every single picture of my children all the time! Not just milestones but truly every little detail. That said, after my daughter Shores was born I found myself longing for pictures that were of a higher quality than what I was capturing on my phone but I also wanted the ability to shoot pictures faster so I didn't miss a single little grin. When it comes to content creation I am forever inspired by the many influencers and photographers near and far that are constantly creating.
Is there a particular shoot or moment with Petite Keep that you’ll never forget?
- I would have to say having the opportunity to watch Lindsay Mullenger (founder and CEO) of Petite Keep and let's not forget mom to FIVE sweet babies sharing her amazing brand on Shark Tank! What a once in a lifetime opportunity to have my photography on stage with her while getting to root her on in this amazing journey! I have such respect for Lindsay and the company she has created that having the opportunity to see her succeed on this platform was truly so very special.
What’s your go-to ritual before starting a shoot or creative project?
- Oh my goodness I am such a type A personality and such a planner! I always have to mentally think through and envision what it is that I am wanting to create, followed by "the gathering" of all the components of a picture I want to make sure are included and featured with each shot. It truly is a meticulous thought out process at times for me with simple things like the positioning of an item in a picture.
What’s a keepsake you personally treasure, and why?
- Gosh! Such a difficult question because all of my Petite Keep trunks possess my most treasured possessions but if I had to narrow it down to a few it would have to be my children's hospital bracelets and hats followed by my gold vintage Judith Leiber belt that was handed down from my great grandmother.
What’s your current coffee/tea order that powers your shoot days?
- I have never met caffeine I didn't like but I always love a cold Peach celsius during the summer months which shifts to a Pumpkin Spice latte in the fall with 2 (or 3 depending on how much work I have to do haha) shots of blonde espresso!
If your creative style had a theme song, what would it be?
- I love this question! So many songs I love but "Ain't no mountain high enough" Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell always puts me right where I need to be! It's classic and fun and always has me singing and dancing around the room!
What’s your current coffee/tea order that powers your shoot days?
- Easy peasy! Canon 5D Mark II with a 50mm lens!
Corinne & Tayler, thank you for the heart, creativity, and dedication you bring to every shoot! We’re endlessly grateful for you and can’t wait to spend a few days together soon on our Customer Brand Trip: PK in the Palms! 🌴🤍
