My friends and family describe me as funny.  Considering I love to make you smile, I do take pride in that compliment.   I am a happy wife to one man since 1994, and a Mom to three young adults.  

I currently have two English Cream golden retrievers, "Nana" Chloe, her daughter Violet, and we have lots and lots of playdates with two of Violet's pups Cody and Brady.  

I would not change a thing.

I have been a photographer all of my life, but started making photos for other people in 2008.  I absolutely LOVE making pictures...and I absolutely LOVE dogs...so yes of course...you can most certainly call me Joanne, the dog photographer. 

I am passionate about PURPLE

HGTV and Gilmore Girls reruns are two of my greatest diversions.

I am a Creative Memories Consultant, have been since 1997, and am passionate about photos and helping you document your own memories and photos to be enjoyed for years and years. 

I am a breast cancer survivor.

My whoopee pie making skills are impressive.

At the age of 36 I cohabited for the first time ever with a golden retriever named Tasha, and from this day forth I intend to always have a golden in my life.

I live in a town with a population of 17,501.  My aim is to photograph 17,000 of them... 

...and their dogs too.
