Takes By Terri

Terri got started in photography when her fourth grade teacher collected money and bought all the students cameras. Her first photo album was filled with playground photos and even then cats, horses and dog pictures. When an opportunity arose to add two of her hobbies to her college load she was off to Utah to spend her weekdays in the photo lab and her weekends skiing, while still fitting her accounting classes somewhere in between. A first and second in a local competition while in Utah kept the passion growing. As an avid horse competitor photographing horses came naturally. An annual horse magazine photo competition reeled her in. She has consistently placed every year entered and four of her award-winning photos have appeared on their magazine covers. She has also been a consistent winner in the Quail Hollow Photography Club, The Wilderness Center Photography Club and the Canton Jewish Center Photo Contests. She has expanded her animal photography to include taking pictures of friends competing at reining horse and dog agility competitions. While known for being an animal photographer she has recently found that she has a flair for journalistic photography while on a trip to Africa. It was one of these photos that took Best of Show at both the Canton Jewish Center and the Quail Hollow photo contests. She took best of show again the following year with a light painting of a saddle. She continues to exapand adding studio portraits and HDR phototgraphy to her current studies.
