My love for photography has grown by leaps and bounds after retiring from my career as a Speech Language Pathologist. I now have the time to explore and capture the beauty that surrounds us. After using point and shoot cameras for years, I decided to up my game and purchased a Sony Mirrorless camera before a trip to Europe. I slowly learned manual settings and photography techniques. while participating in international challenges that have helped me to develop my skills. Wildlife and landscape photography are my favorite genres, as well as macro, street, and portrait photography.. Photographing local birds, especially eagles and owls has brought me hours of enjoyment. Photography has provided a good excuse to travel more (not that I needed one) and discover our amazing planet. I am based out of Columbus, Ohio, and I'm happy to share my photographic captures with you.
