My love of photography started back in high school when I signed up to write in our Journalism class.  They needed a photographer and when no one volunteered for the position, I was assigned as the photographer for our school paper and yearbook.  I was highly qualified at the time, I knew which end to look through! After a few years of photography, I was eventually offered a photojournalism photography scholarship.

 Later in years I did some brief work with a national photography chain and occasionally doing some child portraits on the side.  But mostly my photography was to please myself. 

 After relocating from California to the Pacific Northwest I found a wealth of photographic opportunities in our beautiful landscape.  After sharing my photos with family and friends my love of photography became well known in the family.

 So when my niece announced she was getting married, she requested that I photograph her wedding.  I reluctantly agreed and discovered that I loved the challenge of capturing all the spontaneous happenings in such a happy yet fast paced environment.
