First, let me introduce you to Rebel Youth Photography. We are Jacob and January Young and we are currently based in Huntersville, North Carolina. This is us:

We have been married for nearly 3 years, we have a 17 year old son/step-son and 4 rescue kitties. Jacob went to App State and graduated with a double degree in Computer Information Systems and Accounting. He has a grown-up job, but his passion (and talent) is photography. I went to University for art and have been doing something or other art related for nearly 20 years. Together we started Rebel Youth Photography in order to pursue our shared love of art.

People ask us all the time about our name, so I will tell you the story. We have known since the beginning of our relationship that we wanted to start a photography company together. Before it was a reality, though, we had to come up with a good name. Jacob had his heart set on "Forever Young Photography." (He's the cheesy one.) So I Googled it, and it turns out that tons of people had that idea before he did. We needed a name that was unique and set us apart from all the rest, so I started playing around with different ways to use our last name. We brainstormed about what we wanted to stand for and what our style is. It was decided that we are young (and Young), a little on the rebellious side and willing to take risks to make good art. That's when it hit me, Rebel Youth. We sat on it for awhile, then decided that we liked it. That's the story.

Now, what can you expect from this blog? Well, I'm still sorting that out, but I'm hoping to post interesting things from our photo shoots and our lives, as well as helpful tips and info about choosing the right photographer to use. Also, maybe, what to watch out for. 

Alright. Until next time....
