My
how
time
flies!
It’s
hard
to
believe
that
I’ve
been
a
Redlands
Camera
Club
member
for
almost
ten
years!
When
I
first
joined
RCC
I
was
still
working
full
time
in
my
career
as
a
librarian.
Photography
has
always
been
important
to
me
but,
by
2010
photography
was
becoming
a
passion.
At
the
Rancho
Mirage
Library
I
had
the
opportunity
to
photograph
the
Library’s
many
programs
such
as
the
Rancho
Mirage
Writer’s
Festival
and
the
Young
Americans.
So
began
my
interest
in
event
photography.
During
that
time
I
also
began
to
photograph
my
daughter’s
jewelry
and
to
do
model
shoots
featuring
her
creations.
These
experiences
made
me
realize
how
much
I
enjoyed
“people”
photography.
So
in
2012
I
decided
to
retire
so
that
I
could
devote
more
time
to
photography and to improve my skills.
After
attending
an
excellent
workshop
by
pet
photographer,
Ann
Gordon,
I
was
inspired
to
try
my
hand
at
pet
photography.
Animals
have
always
been
a
vital
part
of
my
life
so
what
could
be
better
that
to
combine
my
two
loves
–
animals
and
photography?
To
get
some
experience
under
my
belt
I
spent
most
of
the
year
after
retiring
persuading
friends
and
their
pets
to
model
for
me.
I
also
volunteered
as
a
photographer
at
the
Redlands
Animal
Shelter
with
my
husband
Bruce
–
who
is
my
“wrangler”
during
photo
sessions.
Now,
three
years
later
I
am
still
working
part
time
as
a
librarian
but,
I
also
have
more
time
to
follow
my
passion
as
a
photographer.
I
love
to
capture
the
expressions
between
pets
and
their
humans.
One
of
the
most
emotional
aspects
of
my
photography
is
taking
photos
of
older
or
ill
pets
so
that
their
owners
may
have
a
beautiful
photographic
memory
of
their
beloved
fur
kid
after
they
are
gone.
In
the
near
future
I
plan
to
renew
my
efforts
for
the
rescue
and
shelter
communities
by
photographing
pets
that
are
desperately
seeking
forever
homes.
When
I’m
not
pointing
my
lens
at
a
furry
subject,
I
enjoy
photographing
people,
events
and
all
the
beauty
that
surrounds
us.
I
am
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
photograph
events
for
Crafton
Hills
College,
the
Beaumont
Library
District,
and
the Rancho Mirage Library. Besides the Redlands Camera Club I am also a member of
