Well, let's see....I originally got interested in photography and started taking photos when my oldest daughter was born back in the early 80s. Then my second daughter was born, and life took priority. My hobby had to take a back seat while I worked and took care of my family. Now that the youngest has graduated and flew the coop, I'm an empty nester with an encouraging husband and a little more time to get back into my old hobby. Much has changed since my days of the old Pentax K1000! Luckily, I am computer literate, so digital is fun and intriguing. I love taking photos, and playing with the images in Photoshop. Several people began asking me to take their photos, so I've started a little photography business with a home studio setup. Check out my main website for more examples of portraiture!

~ Bron ~ says:

"There are many things that set Marti apart from the crowd, but I have no doubt that I was first attracted to her photo stream by one of her many beautiful photos of butterflies, flowers, sunsets, or maybe even an old barn. What really amazes me about Marti is her range of subjects. Some of us have a knack for photographing butterflies, others capture sunsets or the sea, yet others have a special gift for photographing people. Marti seems to have a knack for photographing anything and everything. I count myself lucky to call Marti my Flickr friend, and I look forward to enjoying her friendship throughout this year and many more."

"What can I say about Marti?
Photography must come easy to this talented lady (!)...
she points, shoots and magic happens.
Her family portraits are exquisite, her nature work wonderful,her eye for a photograph impeccable ..her choice of one contact questionable :)
She always finds time to comment on my stream and offer me words.. occasionally encouraging ones!
Marti it's been a pleasure crossing paths with you on flickr and an honour to be your friend.

Keep enjoying your photography
Pete"
