ABOUT
Snake on a Boulder, Brownie box camera
On Sunday mornings after church, Dad grabbed his camera while my sisters and I were still dolled up, having slept on pink foam curlers the night before. Our property along the Mullet River had such beauty, and he’d choose the perfect location. (See the photo he took of my sister below; her purple gingham print sundress pops against a backdrop of goldenrod.) But I did not like getting my picture taken. When Dad let me use his Kodak Brownie camera for a middle school photography class, I realized—similar to being behind the microphone in radio—I preferred being behind the shutter. I proceeded to photograph our cats, dogs, and creatures along the river.
During my career in broadcasting, I advanced beyond anything I’d ever dreamed. But being a marketing manager at a large media center was not who I was... In 2005, my husband relocated for a job and I found myself needing employment. I decided to become a portrait photographer and studied with some of the best. I'm proud of the business headshots and personal portraits I created during that twelve-year period, as well as the design and marketing pieces for local, woman-owned businesses.
After publishing "Lake Michigan: The Wisconsin Shore," I turned my creative efforts to writing and earned a Certificate of Literary Fiction from UW-Madison. Luckily, I am now back to photography as a passion as I work on my second novel. I'd like to think my keen eye for detail helps my writing.
