Village native plans to start photography business

Adriana Curcio will join the work force when she graduates from the Hallmark Institute of Photography in Turners Falls, Mass., in June. Upon graduation, she plans to return home to Williamsville to begin her career as a photographer.

She said she has been drawn to photographic imagery throughout her life and is thrilled to be returning to the area to begin her photography career.

Curcio's concentration is lifestyle portraiture. She will work throughout the Buffalo-Rochester area photographing portraits on location.

"I feel so grateful to have the opportunity to tap into people's lives and capture moments of truth and passion," she said. "Creating images that will be cherished and treasured for years is such an honor."
