Photographer in Portland, Oregon

I say creative professional because I am a multifaceted artist, with digital media. Heavy on the photography, means I am very well rounded in all things digital photography with a dash of film photography field work. Creative professional calls to the fact that I do all of my own marketing, including my website, print material and design, in addition to any other crafts relating to imagery. Education took the lead in my path to photographing, and the experience at The Art Institute International, as well as field experience has allowed me to be familiar with a variety of cameras, lenses, and lighting arrangements. As well as my natural abilities; working with people, seeing creativity in all settings and the drive to accomplish tasks in detail qualify me to be a great candidate for this position. While being employed with Decor & You, Herlife Magazine, Goodliving by Design, and a few other businesses run by my serial entrepreneur employer, Linnore; there are ways to utilize all the skills I possess by managing a multi faceted office. Gracefully juggling office tasks, client facing and designing promotional pieces and marketing materials, sharpened my creative mind and magnified my abilities to be a team leader. I’m a graduate from The Art Institute International, where I majored in photography. The demanding curriculum at AI has given me the skills for a professional career in every field of photography but not limited to photographing. My proficiency lies in the behind the scenes skills, preparation and coordination for events. One of my strengths is the ability to be charismatic with people due to my Kansas country roots, open mind and my drive to deliver a successful product.
