Fine Art Photography
When I opened my shop in 2011,
everything was straight out of the
camera. My editing was done in
camera. Now I have really come to
love the whole editing and creative
process. Yes, this requires more time
but it’s *me* time - time that I can devote to my
work and my creative process. I also find time to escape with just me and
my cameras. Photo day trips are essential to my work and my sanity!
“My work was seen on NBC’s ‘Parenthood’ in two different
episodes (Ep. 606 and 613)! Sweet little Nora rocked our
lavender Golden Gate t-shirt. I am still bursting with pride!”
What made you start your small business?
I have studied photography my entire adult life. I’ve
traveled to some amazing countries as well. My archives
are deep with images and memories that I cherish.
Shortly after our daughter was born, I realized I needed
something that was just mine. My family and friends
have collected my work and they encouraged me to
jump in with both feet and open a shop. It has been
a very rewarding experience - the whole process. I’m
always fascinated with what images strike
a chord with my clients.
What’s been your most popular item or line to date?
My home decor items (pillows, night lights) featuring
my images do amazingly well. I love the idea of
*functional art* and creating pieces that exude
personal style and are not one-of-a-million cookie
cutter items made in far away lands. Taking a cue
from the success of the decor items, I recently
launched a line of children’s and baby clothing
taking the *fun*ctional* aspect one step further.
