I started my passion for photography when I was five years old and I got a hold of my grandfather's camera. Since then I have always had a camera on me snapping pictures.
Finally in 2003 I started taking classes for it, but back then I developed my own film, rolled it, and printed. Since then I have evolved into the digital age by buying my first dSLR.
I am very lucky to have a supportive husband, who allows me to follow my dreams. He also gives me fantastic opportunities by being in the Air Force. We have seen most of the west coast and now Europe.
The name Autumn Illusions comes from my long term love of the season. I feel it is magical in so many ways. The way the trees seem to change from their ordinary green to beautiful yellows, oranges and reds. I feel that it is so powerful that it was the perfect title for my photography. Because that is the way I feel about capture pictures. It is precious moments captured in time forever.
