I live in Portland, Maine with my husband and daughter. Since first picking up an advanced point-and-shoot camera a little over three years ago, I have enjoyed learning many types of photography, from macro and portraits to landscape. I now use a Pentax K20D dSLR and am primarily interested in landscapes, macro and food photography. I'm happy to accept commission work. I have photographs in collections throughout the U.S. I had my first cover on Portland Magazine's August 2008 issue, with my photo, Reflection, taken at Portland Headlight, and I am thrilled to now be doing monthly work for Portland Magazine. My February/March cover photo of Seafood Paella for Portland Magazine won a 2009 American Graphic Design Award. I also have had work published in Maine Food & Lifestyle Magazine. I provide stock images for both iStockphoto and StockFood agencies. My photo, Dawn on Portland Headlight, was published in the “Hot Shots” section of the January 2008 edition of Digital Camera, an international magazine published in England. In addition, my photo of a moose calf placed 3rd in the wildlife category of the Moosehead Lake Region Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Photo Contest in 2007. What began as a hobby with my first inexpensive digital camera has blossomed. I often rise before sunrise to capture early morning mist, or the sun rising over the low tide beaches and lighthouses not far from my house. During the summer and autumn, I take pictures of ripe fruits and vegetables, flowers, animals and insects, the familiar and not-so-familiar sights of the Maine countryside and ocean… I invite you to explore my world – look through my lens – enjoy the beauty.
