Get to know the
Photographer
 
Yes, that's me in my senior yearbook. Voted Most Talented. Apparently, I peaked early.
My love of photography started in high school, back when cameras used actual film and we developed our own negatives and prints in a darkroom. I loved every minute of it.
But photography wasn't my only creative outlet. I studied theatre at Florida State, moved to New York City, and spent years performing in musical theatre. I sang, danced, and toured the country with some incredible shows. I also learned something important: I cannot drive in the snow.
Somewhere along the way, I found myself on the other side of the camera, photographing headshots for Broadway performers and Radio City Rockettes. Turns out, knowing how to perform is pretty useful when you're trying to help someone feel comfortable in front of a lens.
Eventually, my dance background led me back to school for physical therapy. These days, I work with children as a pediatric physical therapist. Different stage, same appreciation for movement, personality, and what makes people tick.
So why did I pick up the camera again?
Our son became a teenager.
And somewhere between the little boy he was and the young adult he's becoming, I realized I didn't have nearly enough photographs of him. Not the school pictures or the quick phone snapshots. The good ones -- the ones that really look like him.
I can't go back and take those pictures. But I can take them now.
That's how Make Faces Photography came to be.
Welcome. I'm so very glad you're here.
