Libby Zaheri
Photographer
I started with CMI as a second shooter and I was honored when they asked me to join the team with them. I have now been apart of this company for over 5 years now. I have been a photographer enthusiast ever since I was a kid, taking random photos with my parent's Pentax K1000 and their Polaroid. My daughters have embraced my love for polaroids as well and if they haven't used all the film I bring my polaroid with me on wedding days. My photography started with shelter pets for local rescues across Ky, while I was a Veterinary Tech. I have since discovered a passion for people and capturing the moments that are special to them. To me capturing those moments to make them timeless is what I live for as a photographer. Just like Chris and Mike I strive to capture my clients personalities in every photo.
