I grew up on a farm in Northern Alberta (Peace River Country). I am bilingual, I can speak and write in both French and English. I have recently moved to Central Alberta. I always liked photography but never found the time to commit to it. My love of the outdoors brought my desire to pursue photography. I enjoy mountain biking, road cycling and recently I have just picked up snow shoes. Snow shoes enable me to reach areas that I couldn't get to before. I am having great fun being outdoors.

 

Just opened up my first blog for those interested the link is: michellandscapephoto.blogspot.com/
