Biography

Born in Ketchikan, Alaska, Terri moved with her family to Washington State when she was five and then immigrated to Canada when she was thirteen. She spent her impressionable 'teen years on a cattle ranch in the British Columbia Interior and this solidified a love of nature and the environment. She spent many hours hiking in the wilderness with only a trusted dog at her side observing the scenery and wildlife that surrounded her home. At age 23 she was proud to become a Canadian citizen.

After graduation she worked at a gas station, a credit union, and a bank. It was after moving to Vancouver that she discovered photography. Exploring the beach, the parks, or even her back yard became an adventure in creativity as she strived to capture the wonder of the world around her on film. Along with photography, travel became an ardent hobby, funds permitting, and her photo albums became a "must see" to friends and family.

Most of the photographs included in Terri's image portfolio were taken since 1999 but some date back to the early 1980's. All images are taken using various SLR cameras, the latest being a Canon XTI Digital SLR.

Terri strives to show mood and emotion in her images. For special events the objective is to capture the moment and preserve it forever for her clients. In most cases, Terri uses natural lighting whenever possible to capture a sense of wonder in her world, sometimes finding that serendipity is her best friend.
