Biography

That's the title of the book I won't release until I retire. If you work in television editing my headline will have you laughing loudly. I can explain later. Armed with a BS in Fine Arts I decided I like eating and indoor plumbing and fell into a television career. I've worked in almost every department and know where all the bodies are buried. I've spoken at several industry related conferences, cruises, awards and marriage ceremonies. I have been told my voice is quiet personal and believable which is a nice way of saying I am clearly not on-air material. I am funny, engaging, and because the Midwest was my home for several years I am cursed with the inability to filter the truth. All questions will be answered. I speak about art, television biz, social media, careers, blogging, writing and new technology. My Pinterest "Gadget Love" page has over 16,000 followers. My elevator speech is "Talk to Me for Five Minutes and I will Tell Your Story".

Lynn has such an eye, and she is fantastic at searching out opportunities for the best photos as well as backdrops. Her commitment to getting just the right shot at the right time shines through. Whether a candid or staged shot, Lynn is able to capture the moment as well as the emotions of the subjects and truly forges a special bond between subject and lens. Of course this has a lot to do with Lynn's personality as well; she has great energy and is easy to work with.
