Vanessa has loved photography since she was a child and has had a camera in her hand since about 6 years old! This love of photography led her to attend and graduate from the prestigious Hallmark Institute of Photography, where she learned both portrait and commercial photography. While attending Hallmark she was a finalist for the Best of College Photography contest sponsored by Photographer’s Forum and Nikon. As a result of this contest her work has been published in ‘Photographer’s Forum Best of College Photography Annual 2007’. Her work has also been donated to Doctors Without Borders in a benefit print sale and is in the permanent collection of the Hallmark Museum of Contemporary Photography. 

She still loves photography as much as she did in the past, but now has many years of professional experience behind her. In addition to working professionally as a photographer she loves photographing at her church and getting outside and enjoying the beautiful Colorado scenery and activities!
