It seems to me that every new thing I learn about photography makes me enjoy it even more. With photography, I get to turn the mundane into something beautiful. I can capture the beauty of the world in one shot and tell an entire story with one picture. And I get to freeze precious moments in time.

When the camera cards filled up, my photography stopped for a period of time (since I didn't know how external hard drives worked). After taking a photography class as a sophomore in college, however, I found anew my passion. I received my first digital camera shortly after. I discovered everything that goes into making a great photo - lighting, subject matter, format, etcetera - and fell in love with the entire process.

My love for photography began around age 10 when I desperately wanted to own a camera. Settling for borrowing my sisters' cameras until I was given my own at age 12, I photographed everything.

I was born and raised in the great state of Michigan and moved to Montana after getting married. I have a BA in Art from Benedictine College. I own 4 horses, 6 chickens, 1 rabbit, and a couple stray cats that reside on our meager 20 acres.

My name is Anna Cimbalista

I love what I do, and I love sharing my passion with others and creating something beautiful and striking to look at that will last a lifetime.
