Hi, I’m Summer

Yes, Summer is my given name.

I love the summertime, but I really love autumn leaves and winter snow best.

I love creating meaningful portraits.

I love my husband & our cats.

I love time spent on my yoga mat.

I love bubbly water & champagne.

I love telling stories & exploring history.

I love traveling & meeting new people.

Basically, I love all the things.

Several years ago, I left my career as a marketing director in the beauty industry to start my portrait photography business. It wasn’t a decision I made on a whim. I had actually been quite sick for some time with various chronic conditions and I was hopeful that a career change would improve my overall health. Photography continues to inspire and motivate me to challenge myself. My health problems remain an ongoing challenge in my life or as I prefer to look at it, a constant opportunity to learn. I will be sharing some of my medical journey on my blog in upcoming months; including my experiences living with with Long Covid.

Thank you for stopping by, and please do take a look around and come back often for updates.
