Donna French has made photographs ever since her parents put a camera in her hands. Photography has been a passion of hers since then, but only as a hobby. Recently, with the encouragement and support of her family and friends, especially her husband, she's taken the leap into the professional arena.

Much of her early work is attributed to a love of flying. Coupled with the rare opportunity to fly with the Arizona Department of Public Safety (Air Rescue Division), Air West Helicopters, and Voyager Helicopters she has produced many interesting photos of professionals in action.

Lately she has enjoyed the experience offered her to photograph weddings and portraits. Her philosophy: "There is nothing more important to me than producing the perfect photo which captures the natural pose of the individuals. "
