Smith took up the study and hobby of photography in 2012 upon a request from Bruce, her husband and she has not looked back to ‘life before camera’. Prior to photography, Smith worked in the pharmaceutical industry in quality assurance. The move to Southern Utah in December 2013 opened up a whole new world of places to go to, see, and record! Her goal is to be able to capture them all with her camera! Smith’s only regret—Should have moved here sooner!
