Photographer joins the Gladish Family has always been passionate about photography and the way a camera can capture love, laughter, and connection in a photograph.
Whittney Graham is the owner of Whittney Graham Photography LLC and has been in the Pullman area since 2009. Just this year she decided to open a new studio space at The Gladish.
Storytelling and photography have always been a love of Whittney’s. “I believe photography is the best way to tell a story,” she said. “It’s a way to view the world through someone else’s lens, a way to freeze time, a way to remember a story once told that will never be forgotten.
“I’m so excited for this studio space and what I will be able to capture in this space,” the new tenant said.
“These moments in life will be treasured and will last a lifetime,” the photographer said. “Photographs gives us a connection and a pathway to someone’s soul. When you look at a photograph you should be able to feel something, relive that moment in time when you look back at that photograph.
Now a little about Whittney: “I'm a mama to four tiny humans and two furry friends, addicted to ice cream and Friends re-runs and raised in the Pacific Whittney Graham Northwest,” she said adding she is a photographer who loves to capture authentic moments.
“I love traveling, exploring and storytelling, and want to help others tell their stories,” Whittney said.
The Pacific Northwest photographer based, on the Palouse since 2016,
