Bio

Hi. I am Carol and have an 12 yr old son Justin. We have 2 cats and 1 little dog, whose photos you will see in my gallery. We live in FL near Tampa. I am a certified teacher in AL and FL and currently looking for a teaching position after recently graduating college as a non-traditional student. I have always loved art and photography, drawing as a teenager and taking photos as far back as I can remember. However, I rarely took photos as art, usually just capturing memories for my photo album. Since moving to FL (for the 2nd time) and buying my first digital camera, I became interested in photography all over again. I began with a Coolpix 4100, taking mostly photos of sunsets. It didn't take long for me to realize the limitations of my point and shoot, so in June 2006, I bought an Olympus EVOLT E-500, my first SLR. Although I have been a member of BP since March 2006, I am still learning new things about photography. I have made many friends on BP, and all of you have encouraged and inspired me! Many BP members have helped me along the way with critiques and supportive comments! I have learned so much in the 3 years I have been a member!

Most images in my gallery are for sale, just click on the contact button and send me an email. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for, please ask because I may have something similar that is not displayed. Also, I shoot locally in and around Tampa/St Pete and northward, so if you are interested in making an appt for portraits of your family, children, pets, etc, please contact me using the contact button.

I appreciate all the suggestions, tips, encouragement, critiques, and emails from fellow members!! Thank all of you so much!
