~ Brittany Menzel, Photographer
Brittany has been fascinated with the art of photography from a very young age, and was never caught without a camera. Although she loved being behind the camera she also had her fair share of time in front of the camera. After several years of modeling Brittany got back behind the camera with a new understanding of what it takes to make a great picture from both sides. She earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Communication/Public Relations with an emphasis on advertising and studied photography. Experienced in a variety of styles she has shot Modeling portfolios, Weddings, Sporting events, Family portraits, Pets and Concerts. Watching MMA is one of her favorite pastimes, and she is thrilled to be a part of the action with her camera in hand. |
