Rebecca Reale
Photographer
Rebecca heads up the photography side of Creative Edge.
You have all heard of “those people” who love what they do for a living. This is my passion: living for each moment….capturing life in the time capsule called photography.
I love the power a picture can convey to our senses.
I love how the most beautiful art forms emerge from the scenes of our lives.
And this is what I aim to do….with each click of my camera: capture a new story.

I had the luxury of having business partners and friends that were willing to take risks and allow me to use my marketing skills to grow their businesses. The result was exponential growth in every case and friends began to ask me to help them do the same to their businesses.
