Hi, I’m Colleen, and I have always been a storyteller. This particular story started when the family photo albums were passed to me just after my daughter was born. Perhaps that is cliche, but it led me to this labor of love, and I’m so happy to be able to offer it to you.
My evolving career has included theatre, web development, clinic coordinator, video production, and photography. I’m excited to put all of those diverse skills to work in one place!
And as a portraitist, I’ve started to feel very moved by the idea of what it means to exist in images. From our great grandmothers’ portraits to the modern day camera phone selfie, we tell the stories of our lives and exist for our own grandchildren the way no one could 200 years ago. We have a very special opportunity to preserve what’s left of the film era, and the beginning of our family history in photographs.
