Once Upon a Time

About
took this of my son,
in the 90’s
This isn’t a hobby, it’s in my blood. I’ve been infatuated with
photography, and computers for as long as I can remember.
From the first time I held my dad's Minolta in the late eighties, I
was hooked. In high school, I was the yearbook photographer.
In my junior year of high school I worked as a photographers
assistant at Olan Mills where I worked for a few months before
accepting a position at Expressly Portraits where I photographed
with a Mamyia RB67, processed negatives and developed
enlargements, I was promoted several times, eventually
becoming Studio Manager. Additionally, I started assisting as a
second shooter after training with Jerry Clay, an award winning
wedding photographer in Northeast Ohio in the late 1990’s and
had the privilege of photographing commercials events for the
Cleveland State Convocation Center. My photography has
been published, most notably for an image of the “Artist”.
Fast forward well over a decade. I have always been the
photographer in the family. I always had a camera in hand,
always. Photography has always been the constant in my life.
Here I am today, still passionate about people and my craft. It’s
been a gift to capture a newborn’s portraits and take his senior
portraits years later.
When I am not behind the camera you will find me out and
about in CLE with my husband and two children.
