through the lens

I am a teacher by profession, but have recently “broadened” my profession to include photography. Having turned the corner from being a photo enthusiast for over 10 years, I am currently working with and for a local professional and his wife. They have taken me on as their “Second Photographer” for wedding shoots, and are training me to become “First Photographer”. I can already see the exciting improvements in my photography from this short time of apprenticeship.

As a freelance photographer, I call my ownn business “Sallee Photograpy”, and have been hired by my own clients for youth camps, senior pictures, weddings, and family portraits at the beach.

Other things I love, besides photography, are ceramics, bicycling, the beach, and the children in my life who belong to my friends and siblings. I also love teaching. Having spent 13 years in middle school and high school art and yearbook classrooms, I have been inspired as I interact with the young people who come through those classroom doors. I love trying to be a positive influence in their lives in any way I can.

Thanks for visiting my blog…I hope it inspires you!
