Welcome to my indoor photography studio

I began working at age 9 as a paper route carrier for the Daily News/Daily Globe in Auburn, Washington.  Getting up at the crack of dawn and riding my bike delivering newspapers, I soon saved up enough to buy a Kodak Star 110 point and shoot.  

I loved taking photos and spent my hard-earned money getting my photos developed at the local Pay N Save.  

In sixth grade, I took a photography class developing photos in a dark room, but I didn't enjoy it---the smell and the ambiance was not for me.  (Digital photos weren't around at that time).  It seemed photography was not an option since I didn't like dark rooms.  

As an adult, I worked in the business world.  During this time, I continued taking photos and having them developed; 

photography was always there.  

It wasn't until I had my child and became a stay-at-home mom that I found my photography passion.  

Digital photos were just becoming popular.  

With my Canon point and shoot, I could practice taking photos as much as I wanted.  Upon my husband's encouragement, I got a DSLR starter pack from Costco. 

I took as many photography classes and workshops as I could find.  

I joined a photography club where I started taking photos for other people.  

Art and photography have always been with me, they have just taken awhile to fully develop (pun intended). 

I found my good side.

Living in a diverse area such as Federal Way, I am inspired by the people I meet every day.  I have photographed many different subjects, scenes, and moments.  There's art around every corner, and I love photographing it.
