About deVries Photography
Apprenticeship is a lost art—
The concept of working side-by-side with a master, day in and day out.
Carmel Musich, owner of deVries Photography, spent nearly a decade tirelessly training with Chris and Nick deVries, the third generation of that family’s photography talent. In 2016, as the two brothers neared retirement, the legacy plan became clear. It was Carmel’s turn to take the reins. Her eyes are firmly on the future of the business with ties wisely to the talents of years gone by.
We have the family we’re born with and the family we choose. That idea is why Carmel wanted to take over a ‘family’ business. She brings that same spirit to each and every shoot. She’s honored to be a part of your session, your family’s memories, your passionate business ventures.
