Growing up I was always involved in the arts due to my parents, a graphic designer and a fine artist. I was always dancing, singing, occasionally partaking in my high school theatre group, & photographing. My dad introduced me to photography & gave me my first film camera.
I began studying photography on black & white film & considered myself a purist. "Uh-Uh Digital, no way you're getting at me", but alas, at Penn State I had to take digital courses & soon realized I LOVE color! My photos are very vibrant & I'm a very bright, quirky, spontaneous, & warm person, so I like to think that my work expresses my personality.
I now mainly focus on music artists but no matter what I'm photographing, I like to capture the moments between the moments, the candids, the photos that show who people really are. By photographing the arts, I'm connecting all my loves into one & capturing all the feels I've felt thru these artists & hopefully spreading the joy art has always brought to me.

Thru my classes I hope to share some tips that you can use when creating your masterpieces and allow you to spread your joy.
