Hand claps for Mr. Derick for one, being a self-taught 13x published photographer!  I'm so thankful for his time and professionalism. We ended up changing locations last minute and Derick still came through and showed out for my first shoot. I've never been more comfortable in front of photographer (this was my first time btw). Not many have mastered allowing someone else to shine through they're lens! So Thank you Derick, for the encouragement! You were kind to me, allowed me to bring my sun along and you helped me get comfortable with just your words  I'm so grateful for the experience in its entirety

My name is Derick Roberts, but some call me 'D', or 'BloKc'. I'm a proud Kansas City, Missouri native, lifelong dog lover, and now a professional photographer. My journey into photography started in 2021, initially driven by the desire to capture high-quality images of my beloved American Bullies. Little did I know how deep this new hobby would take me.
&nbsp;
The world of photography unexpectedly beckoned me further. After my father's passing, I was struck by a profound realization &ndash; we didn't have enough photos of him, of our family. That&rsquo;s when I decided to dive fully into photography. It became more than just taking pictures of my dogs. It was about capturing memories, preserving the essence of moments that could never be relived. To my surprise, photography felt like a calling, something more fulfilling than anything else I've pursued.
&nbsp;
In homage to my father, I named my photography business after his nickname, 'D Rock'. However, I added my own twist to it, rendering it as 'D RoKc'. This name doesn't just represent me; it represents 'us', our family, and the place we call home.
&nbsp;
As a newcomer to the world of photography, I started attending local meetups to practice my skills. I even ventured into boudoir photography. Although it felt strange and a bit uncomfortable at first, the experience turned out to be great. Not only did it help me expand my photography skills, but it also led me to meet some incredible people, including my now good friend, Gia Bang.
&nbsp;
With practice, dedication, and a passion that was ignited by the memory of my father, I have managed to get my work published numerous times. Each publication feels like a little victory, an affirmation that I'm on the right path. Today, I&rsquo;m not just a dog breeder who won the Kansas City's People&rsquo;s Choice Awards for Best Dog Breeder, but also a professional photographer who is continuously perfecting his craft.
&nbsp;
To me, photography is more than just a passion; it's a tool that helps restore confidence and motivate people. It's a medium that allows me to create and share magic. And while I didn't see myself becoming a photographer when I was younger, I can't imagine my life without it now.
&nbsp;
So, here's to the dream that lives, the legend that lives. Here's to D RoKc. And here's to you, ready to have your legend captured through my lens.

The Journey From Dog Lover to Photographer: A Tribute to D Rock

Welcome to my 'About Me' page! I appreciate your interest in getting to know me a little better, and I'm excited to share a bit about my journey, my passions, and what inspires me to do what I do.
&nbsp;
My name is Derick , and I'm the voice behind this blog. I began this venture as a creative outlet to share my thoughts, experiences, and knowledge with a wider audience. Over time, it has grown into more than just a hobby. It has become a platform where I can connect with individuals from all walks of life and a space where I can express myself freely.
&nbsp;
My journey hasn't always been easy. There have been bumps along the way, but each challenge has shaped me into the person I am today - resilient, passionate, and always eager to learn. I believe that life is a continuous learning process, and we should always be open to new experiences that broaden our perspectives.
&nbsp;
My passion lies in perfecting my photography. This passion is what fuels this blog and drives me to produce content that not only informs but also inspires and motivates my readers. I aim to create a positive impact through my writing and hope that with each post, I can make a difference, however small, in someone's life.
&nbsp;
Aside from photography, I also have a deep interest in dog breeding. I believe that our interests shape our worldview and enrich our lives, and I love sharing mine with my readers.
&nbsp;
Apart from blogging, I spend my time studying on Youtube. This helps me continuously fuels my creativity.
&nbsp;
Through this blog, I hope to build a community of like-minded individuals who share my passion for photography. It's not just about me, but about us growing and learning together. I appreciate every reader's thoughts, feedback, and contributions to this blog. After all, it's your engagement and support that helps this blog thrive.
