Post 1 - From the beginning...

I'm happy and EXCITED to announce the start of my new business venture. Starting a business is a big deal, and a lot of paper work. It took a little longer than I anticipated getting everything in order and ready to go. I'm so blessed to have this opportunity to do something I LOVE. I have been experiencing with Photography since a young age. I bought my first REAL camera at the age of 16. Film was in back then, and so were dark rooms. I remember turning my moms laundry room into a dark room with red lights blasting through the cracks of the door. It didn't last long, as I got my first job at a photography studio in downtown White Bear Lake, called The Picture Place. I learned allot from the owners Berry and Lee. I started out making backdrops for their studio, and then moved up to shooting sports for the High Schools in St. Paul and surrounding areas. My favorite part was when I was promoted to retoucher. Back then you used real paints to fix the photos...glass glare, acne and just the random white spots that happen when developing photos in a dark room. Now it's all about Photoshop, I could not be happier! But I have to say, it was the love of working with and on people’s photos, which really got me going into all sorts of artistic endeavors.
