About us
A little about me, I have been a mortgage originator for the last 6 yrs and in banking of some sort for the last 11, I do love lending but always wanted to make photography my "real" job.
I have loved photography since my sophomore year in high school at Mt Baker when I was shown the most wonderful place on earth, a darkroom! After that I think I spent the majority of my time in there as our yearbook photo editor for 2 years. I still miss the smell of fixer on my hands. I have kept it as a hobby ever since.
I have the amazing opportunity and luck to actually make my passion my job and took the leap a couple years ago. My husband works as a supervisor at BP and I am extremely lucky for this. It has allowed me to be as busy or as slow as our schedule allows. I enjoy taking photographs of all types of events and people. I love seeing a story in still photos, the feeling and emotion in a great photograph. One thing I like about photography is that no matter what there is always going to be a new angle, new style of picture and someone better then me or has a different take or style on what makes a great picture. There is always another level to get to and it will never be boring.
While working in banking I always thought “when I grow up maybe this can be my "real" job” How great to work everyday with my true passion. It's wonderful to have a passion and a job that involves my family. My husband likes it, well because he loves sports. He is almost entirely to blame for my love of sports. I figured, after having 2 boys, if you can't beat them join them!
Thanks for taking a look at my page. If you have any comments, ideas, input, or anything at all, please email me!
Thanks!

Corina M. asked:My son will be graduating high school and this is my first time doing this. I'd like to get senior pictures done, and make this special time for him memorable. Does anyone know of a studio or even an acquaintance who's good at photography? I'd love to get them done outdoors.Taylor K. replied:https://www.facebook.com/206782012674312 Janell Summer Photography
