Let me tell you a little about myself.

Since I am the "designated family photographer" there aren't many photos of me. However, i was able to locate a photo of me with my husband (taken by my daughter) at a recent family event . . . and here it is.

For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in cameras and photography. I took my first class in beginning photography at the Cleveland Photographic Society in 2001, using a basic film SLR camera. Since that time I have gone totally digital, with my current camera being the Canon 5D Mark II. I have taken many courses and workshops throughout the United States (led by Bryan Peterson, Alain Briot, Nancy Rotenberg, Chris Hurtt, Brenda Tharp, Ian Adams, and Jim Roetzel to name a few).

My favorite subjects are my seven grandchildren, but I also enjoy photographing the beauty of nature, flowers, and landscapes (especially in my home state of Ohio and in Oregon, where one of my three daughters and two grandchildren reside).

Currently I sell stock photography through several agencies, including Alamy and Acclaim Images and take candid photos at family reunions, anniversary parties, graduation parties and small weddings. I also do photographs of babies, children and families on location, as well as small product photography in my home studio.
