Hey everyone,

I've been feeling out this forum for a couple weeks and it seems like a great place to be. I moved to Los Angeles about a year ago (spent the previous 5 years in Chicago, where i studied photography at Columbia College, and i grew up in Mid-Michigan). I'm taking my time starting up my business out here in this crazy place! I coach gymnastics as my other part time job/passion.

I primarily shoot documentary child/family photographs, but I'm really trying to push myself to shoot more art for art's sake like I used to. Which leads me to share my new Photo BLOG where you'll see some recent photos from Big Sur, CA (my favorite place)!

I look forward to sharing more here! Thanks for reading my looooong introduction!

hi and welcome teri - nice site. hope to see some of your work posted!

i'm just the opposite of you, i used to do fine art but have moved over to the people side of photography. i have lots of family in michigan too.

tami
