Bio
Hi there!
My name is Petra Herrick, and I am a primarily self-taught photographer. During my first few years at college I majored in fine art photography and graphic design but decided to change majors in my junior year. Although I do not have a formal degree in photography, I do have over 10 years of experience including two years of vocational training and experience with 2 local portrait studios.
I also craft, sew and, crochet! I grew up watching my grandmother (who I call Memere) sew everything from doll clothes to quilts, and in each item that I create, there is a little part of her in there. My Memere is a great woman and a big part in my creative vision.
When I'm not taking pictures or creating things, I spend my time with my loving husband and our family (including our pets). We love to cook together, camp and go on adventures. We both love places of historical importance, botanical gardens and exploring the world around us. I am also a little geeky at heart. I enjoy shows on the planet and I especially have a great fascination with Alaska. I love shows like Man Vs. Nature and Dual Survival. I also love trashy reality TV (except things The Bachelor or Big Brother) and especially love Snooki & JWoww! I am a little bit of everything all wrapped up into one!
I also hold a bachelors degree in counseling and currently work in the human services field for a local non profit agency that provides services to people with mental illness and developmental disabilities.
