Jackie Kramer - Birds
Jackie has been passionate about photography since her dad gave her a camera in high school. The camera eventually replaced oil paints as her artistic expression of the natural world. Orchids, wading birds, and scenery of the Florida coast where she grew up became some of Jackie's favorite subjects. Though her career as an engineer, and family, took her to Alaska, she remained an avid floral photographer. Jackie is recognized as a Master Photographer by the Professional Photographers of America. She is also a KelbyOne instructor and Lensbaby Ambassador. She has received numerous international awards for her photography and her work has appeared in various magazines and online publications. Jackie runs classes online and also conducts in person workshops. Her overarching goal is to use the medium of photography to enrich others and build relationships through her Facebook group, Phlorography – Artistic Floral Photography.

Gayle Berthiaume - Phone Photography
I capture beauty as I experience life. When I do not have my “big camera,” a Nikon Z5, I always have my iPhone with me—and it takes amazing images.
As a visual learner, I am naturally aware of the beauty around me. I look for unusual angles, interesting details, reflections, light, color, and moments that others might pass by. My goal is to portray each image in a unique way so others can share a little of what I saw, felt, and experienced.
