Erin Doyle GroomNorth Branch School
All we truly have in life are the individual moments that make up our days. Photography allows me to discover a moment in time that captures my imagination, hold on to that moment and then share it with others. I know something good and true will happen with my work when everything else falls away and all that matters is the time I have spent. Photography is my profession, but it has always been first about following my passion.
