Hersey Creative:
Creating Meaning Through Life’s Moments

Ampersand Creations:

Ampersand Creations is the home of custom, soulful, handcrafted pieces, designed & created by the “her” half of Hersey Creative Studios. As a disabled, pansexual, Hispanic artist based in Sierra County, New Mexico, I bring my vibrant identity, lived experiences, & personal warmth into every creation.

Here, you’ll find truly unique pieces, from custom shadow boxes that preserve meaningful memories, to beautiful wreaths that welcome you home, to cozy personalized blankets & heartfelt greeting cards.

The ampersand (&) symbolizes connection & that’s exactly what I strive to create: a connection between my passion & your life. Every piece is one-of-a-kind, crafted with intention, care, & a desire to bring genuine artistry into your everyday.

Hersey Photography offers high-quality photography services & stunning fine art prints, guided by the experienced and meticulous eye of a recently retired Air Force veteran. After a distinguished career of service, the focus has shifted from the mission field to the visual field—bringing the same discipline, precision, & dedication into every image.

Based in Sierra County, New Mexico, Hersey Photography blends technical skill with a genuine passion for light, composition, and storytelling. Each session is approached with intention and care, ensuring that every moment is captured with clarity & meaning.

Whether you’re looking to preserve life’s most important milestones or bring the beauty of fine art photography into your home or office, you’ll find images defined by perspective, emotion, and lasting impact.

A Little Whimsy for Life’s Moments

Ampersand Moments is a space for imagination where moments are softened, colors feel brighter, & everyday life is touched with a little bit of magic.

Rooted in the same heart and creativity behind Ampersand Creations, this collection embraces a freer, more expressive side of artistry; one that isn’t bound by structure, but guided by feeling, inspiration, & wonder. It’s a place where creativity is allowed to wander, to explore, & to take shape in unexpected and beautiful ways.

Inspired by the quiet, meaningful moments in between the ones often overlooked, each piece is designed to capture a sense of whimsy, emotion, & individuality. From playful details to dreamy designs, Ampersand Moments invites you to see the world a little differently. Through a lens of imagination, color, and heart.

Here, the ordinary becomes a little more magical, & every creation is a reminder that even the smallest moments can hold something extraordinary.
