I grew up near the beach in Southern California and have used water in my photography ever since. My passions are teaching photographers how to create better images and helping them find their voices. I was a commercial photographer and teacher in New York and Spain for over 15 years. I am a photography coach, webinar host, video content creator, and lead retoucher at McKenna, a professional photo lab in Waterloo, Iowa. I love what I do, and if I can help you find your voice, please reach out.On a personal note, I am obsessed about learning and communication. When I'm not working, I exercise in nature, write poetry, play guitar, read books, and photograph flowers.
