Hometown Heroes–First Edition

We are very excited to share with your our very first edition of our Hometown Hero series! We plan on selecting a local hometown hero to feature each month. The heroes will be local men and women who have dedicated themselves to community service and have gone above and beyond to help others. These men and women include firefighters, EMTs, police officers and others who’ve gone beyond themselves to help those around them.

Our first hometown hero is near and dear to our hearts. Wayne E. Ray is not only the founder of Snapshot 47 Photos but he has also been a dedicated firefighter for 42 years. He currently serves as the Chaplin and photographer for Fallowfield Township Volunteer Fire Company, Washington County Station #47. Through out his 40 years of service at F.T.V.F.C. he held the positions of Chief, Assistant Chief, Captain, Engineer, and Treasurer of the Relief Association. In addition to his work with F.T.V.F.C. he also has served two years with the North Belle VFD.

When Wayne is not serving his community he spends time with his wife, Joyce. Together they have two daughters, Denise Trona of Lumberton, Texas and Jennifer Codeluppi of Fallowfield Twp, PA. They also have 4 grandchildren and 3 Great Grand Children.

Wayne works as a dental technician at Ray Orthodontic Lab and is an insurance agent with VFIS who provides insurance for fire departments. Wayne is also the Tax Collector of Fallowfield Township.

In addition to his firefighting volunteerism, he also serves as sub deacon of St. Mary’s Eposcopal Church and Lay Minister. He has been awarded the Prudential Community Service Award and the Mon Valley Regional Chamber Shining Star Award.

Wayne dedicates his life to helping others and encourages you to find a way to serve in your community. If you are interested in being a volunteer firefighter check out the Fallowfield Township Volunteer Fire Company’s webpage or their Facebook page for more information or contact your local fire department! Thank you, Wayne, and all other Volunteer Fire Fighters!

Tuesday Inspirations…

Some of you know our backstory here at Snapshot 47 but for those that do not here’s a little bit about where we got started…

Our family team consists of Wayne E. Ray, Joyce Ray and Jennifer L. Codeluppi. We also have many helpers that assist us on photo shoots and behind the scenes. Wayne has always had a passion for photography. When digital cameras first came out, Wayne rekindled his love for photography. He began taking photographs again. His first subject...scenery. Wayne was awarded many first place awards in local photography competitions with these photos.

However, Wayne has another passion, Firefighting. He has been a member of the Fallowfield Township Fire Department for over 38 years. In 2003 a fellow firefighter asked him to bring his camera to fire calls. One day he did and he hasn't stopped since. Because of this, the members of the FTVFC gave him the nickname 'Snapshot". Seeing how the FTVFC Washington County Number is 47 it was only natural to name the business Snapshot 47.

Here is a recent photo by Wayne…This picture represents how at any moment, life can get very intense and how a picture can capture that moment!

Supporting Local Business

Being that we are a small town company we believe strongly in helping support other local businesses in the area. This weekend our Ethan needed a hair cut and we knew that the girls at Salon Eye Candy could help us out! Salon Eye Candy is owned by Jamie Davis and is celebrating their one year anniversary this month! This has been an awesome year for Jamie and her crew! They have been a wonderful addition to the Broad Avenue shops!

Christy Hicks took over Ethan’s transformation and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Thank you Christy and Salon Eye Candy for your awesome service! If you need a new look be sure to give them a call!
