Whether that be the intricacies of delicate handmade French lace from her summers in France, to the bold Brazilian tiles of historic towns in Bahia where her father lived.

If you told me photography was going to be my career 10 years ago, I wouldn’t have believed it. But, looking back, all the signs were there and just had not been fully realized.

I imagined I would love city life and working in the corporate world, never wanting to return to my Berkshire roots…. but boy was I wrong.

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Browtine Photography. I grew up in Western Massachusetts in a very creative family. When I traveled to Australia in high school my mother sent me with five rolls of film, yes FILM! However, when I returned from my trip with 27 rolls of film I realized that photography was and is my passion. I went off to a four year college, took some photography courses, and decided I wanted to pursue my passion, so I attended Hallmark Institute of Photography. It is so surreal to me that I can do what I love every day and make it my career!
