I love focusing on the good I see around me.

I am not a self taught photographer and have many teachers to thank for my photography. I took photo classes, even developing my own negatives and prints (back in the olden days of film). I also worked in a portrait studio learning how to shoot people (not really shooting them, taking their portraits.)

One day I decided to pick up my DSLR camera and really learn how to use it and edit my photos. I decided to share my photos and keep learning photography and grow my hobby. I upgraded to a mirrorless camera and invested in more lenses (maybe I should have kept knitting for a cheaper hobby). But I have loved getting outside to shoot and stay inside to edit and find beauty in the world around me.

I am a mother of 4 teenagers, have an accounting degree, have a piano performance degree, and I love yoga (as well as my family and others.)
