Portrait of a smiling mature woman with short dark hair.

Barbara Doreste

I have a passion for capturing the beauty and nostalgia of everyday life, whether it is in people, nature or architecture. I see texture, color, light and composition everywhere, and my intent with photography is to share that vision. Drawing, painting and amateur photography have always offered a venue for me. After retiring from teaching and the birth of my first grandchild, family and friends encouraged me to pursue newborn and then family photography. After joining a highly competitive camera club my interests grew to nature, travel and architectural photography.

Now that I reside in Florida, I look forward to capturing as much of its beauty as possible and meeting people who also have interest in the Arts.
