I became interested in photography when I was quite young. My very first camera, a little point-and-shoot pentax was one of my favorite gifts ever! I spent lots of time playing around with that camera, learning all the different settings, trying to make it do just what I wanted. I loved taking pictures! Later on I took some photography courses and gained more education about photography. I also worked at a photography studio with some excellent photographers where my knowledge and skill continued to improve. My passion for the art has only increased and I love continuing to grow and learn with each new challenge! I believe photographs have the ability to impress and inspire just as eloquently written words, or beautifully expressive music.
