MUSINGS
On Sunday mornings, my Dad would grab his camera while my sisters and I were still dolled up after church, having slept on pink foam curlers the night before. Our beautiful property near Road America along the Mullet River provided the perfect location for photo shoots. (Dad taught science, math and photography at Plymouth High School. See the picture he took of my sister below; her purple gingham print sundress pops against a backdrop of goldenrod.)
But I did not like getting my picture taken. When Dad let me use his Kodak Brownie camera for a middle school photography class, I realized—similar to being behind the microphone in radio—I preferred being behind the lens. I proceeded to photograph our cats, dogs, and creatures along the river.

During my career, I advanced beyond anything I’d ever dreamed. But being a marketing manager at a large media center was not who I was. In 2005, my husband relocated for a job and I found myself needing employment. I decided to become a portrait photographer and studied with some of the best. I'm proud of the business headshots and personal portraits I created during that twelve-year period. Luckily, I am now back to photography as a hobby as I work on my second radio novel. I'd like to think my keen eye for detail helps my writing.
