I believe there is an intrinsic beauty in every human soul and that a true portrait brings this out. When I see the portraits painted or drawn by the Old Masters, I feel that I know the subject simply through the art. A successful portrait contains a very real part of the subject being revealed. This is my goal in making portraits, whether my medium is oils, graphite, clay or my camera.

I have been doodling and designing since I have been a little
girl. I would sometimes stay up all night as a teen, just
drawing and making card designs and writing poems (or love
letters to my then favorite teen bopper star). I grew up in
Minnesota where my dad had a photography studio in our
home. I set off into the world and got a degree in graphic
design. Life took me to Guatemala for 7 years to help my
family’s non profit organization, Common Hope. I returned to the states and
lived in Miami for several years. I knew I wanted to start my own business
of photography. I successfully blended my love of art with my love of
photography. I moved back to good ole’ Minnesota in 2001 and began my
new and improved photography studio here…. again. Even though
photography is what I enjoy the most, I cannot leave my love of design behind.
Wanting to create designs for other photographers to make thier life easier began
the birth of photoDEZIGN… the rest is history.
