Dawn Baldwin Barrett

My mom has always allowed me to chase any idea I have had no matter how crazy. Without her continued support and backing of this venture, I definitely would not be able to make it happen.

Ashok Kara

My uncle Ashok was also essential in helping me get to where I am now. He let me borrow his Rebel T3i camera and Tamron telephoto lense as my first foray into real cameras and away from my iPhone. He made a deal with me saying that I could borrow the camera for up to 2 years and by then I needed to get better equipment. It helped me understand what I needed, and helped me to develop a style of shot that I was looking for much quicker than I expected. I was back with his camera in hand 8 months later.

Sarah Moss and diane Monroe

Sarah and Diane have been exceptionally supportive of my work from the beginning and provided me with the first pieces of wood and many more pieces since, to use in my frames. I could never have been able to get into the world of wood like I have and wouldn’t have been able to make the frames I do without them.

Cory Elder

Cory was one of the two people who encouraged me to focus on my photography and try to hone my craft. A business partner for a time and now one of my best friends he helped to bring out my artistic side and let me see that I really could make this happen.

Anthony Morganti

An absolutely essential part of my fast progression through the world of photography and editing, he has put out many series of videos tackling everything from specific photography techniques to whole applications, such as Lightroom Classic. I now use Lightroom Classic and what I was able to learn from watching Mr. Morganti’s videos saved me a lot of money in classes and many years of lessons. I went from knowing literally nothing about Lightroom to be confidently proficient in just a few weeks time. His extensive training videos demonstrate the ideas, technologies and tools in real time, making it easy to follow along with on your own application.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology

I am forever grateful to The Cornell Lab for their extensive work with birds and their in-depth database that allows identification to be much easier than it otherwise would be. From my experience there is no other database for any group of animals or plants with information and identification tips that is as handy, well organized, correct, complete, and up to date.

Everyone else

There are many other people that have been an essential part of my getting here. My friends who have put up with listening to me talk about my ideas. People I drag over to look at what I’m doing and give feedback, I’m terrible about that. My grandparents for all they do, too much to write here. So many people have been supportive of me throughout this process as I strike out and try to live the entrepreneurial lifestyle.

I am very grateful for you all. Thank you!
