Does a passion for something run in a family? Seems like the answer to this question is YES! Photography has always been a part of my life. I can still hear the click - click of my mother's 35 mm camera and the crispy feel of the negatives. And, of course, the joy of looking at the PERFECT photograph. I remember when my mom entered one of her photographs of my infant daughter in a contest and called it "Betsy in the Morning". The light was just right and my beautiful baby was so precious. It is no wonder that I love grabbing my camera and snapping away.
I have always had a wall of favorite photos aligning my stairs. That means I get to look at them many times a day. When my own kids were little, I got into scrap booking. If it wasn't in the scrapbook, it didn't happen! Then as an elementary teacher, I was always taking photos of those adorable children in my class. At the end of the year we would have a bulletin board full of memories. Then we would make - SCRAPBOOKS!! It was about this time that I started learning more about the settings on the digital camera and my passion grew. Fast forward a few years, and now I have the time to take that passion to the next level. KARIN LERTORA PHOTOGRAPHY was formed!
Now I have a grand daughter - and OH what an adorable subject to photograph. I just follow her around with my camera in hand. I guess I will be know as grandma with a camera! One thing is for sure, she will have many special moments documented by grandma, and who knows, maybe she will have a passion for photography, too!
