I have been an amateur photographer for many years with goals to one day become a professional photographer. When degenerative arthritis prevented me from doing my previous career I turned to my photography. After having many people seeing my photography skills and asking me to photograph them I realized that a career in photography for definitely for me. I apprenticed with a professional photographer for quite some time and learned the skills neededto begin my adventure into the professional world of photography. I have former education in business marketing, business management, graphic design and digital photography that I bring with me. I don't consider photography a job. I love what I do and I love the people and animals that I work with.
