I have spent all of my life loving photography, but it wasn't until my first camera at the age of 18 that I started to learn the art of photography! As my 3 children grew, I was able to utilize my father-in-law's camera and start to learn SLR photography. It wasn't long before I outgrew that camera and wanted to learn more, so about 10 years ago I started saving for my own DSLR and was able in 2011 to buy a Nikon D90!

At Old School Lives we want to encourage the arts. We have a fully functioning Pottery Studio, Textile Studio, Artist Studio Space, Artist Exhibits, Youth and Community art opportunities throughout the year.
