When I was seven years-old, my father helped me purchase my very first camera, a
126 (brand I don’t remember) and I began shooting everything with it!  I seized every
moment, even when the subjects got angry with me for intruding. I never stopped.
Through thirty-five years I have enjoyed the picture taking of others as well as my
own efforts.  We learn from each other about the inner-eye of the artist-
photographer capturing the essence of the subject. Today I own several different
cameras, lenses, and special photographic equipment allowing me to work creatively
with light and shadow for the most natural composition.

Photography is an art, which I have thoroughly appreciated much like life itself.  My
parents instilled within me a sense of duty to use the gifts with which I have been
blessed to contribute to the wholeness and happiness of others as well as myself.  I
want to follow their example in my photography by treating others as I want to be
treated, being there for those who seek my expertise, and using my talents in thanks-
giving to God, the Creator of all that is. One of my most humble joys is seeing
someone look at and be thrilled by the pictures I have shot of their family ~ infants
to elders, special occasion portraits, the interior/ exterior of their home
environments, domestic pets, wildlife, sunrises & sunsets, and a myriad of special
request shots.

My pleasant home studio mirrors my Native American heritage and is surrounded by
magnificent pine trees of various species and sizes.   Upon waking one morning, I
looked out my window at the thick fog enveloping those pine.  I could not see the
trees; yet, I knew they were there amidst the mist.  MISTY PINE PHOTOGRAPHY is
my venturing into the magical fog of the professional photography field.  I know I
have the desire, the experience, and the talent to discover the hidden in the mist.  I
know I have all that I need to please my clientele.  I know that it is my joy to bring
joy to others and myself through the art of photography.
