My Photography Story (I've been doing this for over 10 years)
My photography career at age 16 while shooting for the Port Orchard Independent Newspaper. The photo editor, Jim Bryant, gave me countless opportunities to learn, to be published in the newspaper, and also helped me with making a website. (Many thanks to his wife, Amy!!!) I had a website, several published pieces, and my own camera at age 17. (This was 1998!) I was the president of the Photography Club at school and graduated in 2000.
Then, I moved to Seattle, graduated from The Art Institute, and began working at the Experience Project Museum, and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame as "Digital Imaging Specialist". There I met so many amazing people...Lou Reed, Charles Peterson, Steven Spielberg, and Annie Leibovitz. After they laid-off our entire department...I moved to Los Angeles!
After returning to Seattle about three years ago, I created Blush Photo!!! Met the most amazing friends, met my awesome boyfriend- Ghost of Kyle Bradford, and truly found my place here living at Blush Studio in the Bemis Lofts!
I was recognised in Seattle Sound Magazine, January 2008 issue:
