I grew up with photography firmly rooted in my genes. My mother never took her finger off the trigger of her 35mm point & shoot. She was like our own personal family paparazzi. My father was a photographer in the Navy and allowed me to tinker with his plethora of old camera gear. I spent hours pouring through his black & white prints. Each Christmas, I made Family Photo Albums out of leftover pictures and craft paper. Nothing pleased me more than to watch the tears roll down each family members’ face as they remembered times of comedy and cherished family memories. I was a photography addict!
From the beginning, I loved capturing raw emotion in my images. I’m inspired to shoot candidly and that journalistic style is all I see. Nothing is more rewarding to me than to hear someone gasp, sniffle or laugh out loud at their images. Just knowing that I was able to capture the rawness and emotion I saw through my lens is what photography is all about to me.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know a bit more about me and I hope our paths cross soon so I can do the same with you!
Hugs…Betsy
