About the Photographer

Hi my name is Carolyn Schaner and I am a college student currently entering my fifth year at Michigan State University and am pursuing a degree in Psychology.
I have always had a passion for photography and have spent a lot of time taking pictures. I had never seriously considered photography as a career though until my senior year of high school when my art teacher sold some work for me.


After several years of dabbling with photography and focusing on school, golf, and now rowing, I came back to the art with a renewed passion. During a family trip to Cleveland, and several hundred photos later I started to rethink my current career path. With the help of my parents I put together a portfolio and began a Facebook page to share my work. My parents showed my work to coworkers who showed their interest in buying prints and hiring me for various jobs. And so this is how I have gotten to where I am now. Besides photography I enjoy playing golf, rowing, kayaking, snowboarding, working out, playing violin, spending time outdoors and anything on water.

I hope that you will enjoy the images you see and share them with others, (and maybe possibly buy a few, as they make great gifts!)
