Hi! My name is Patti Maravolo. I am a mother to a beautiful daughter and wife to a fabulous man! I am a lifestyle photographer. My style is classic and timeless with accents of fresh, fun, and fashionable styles. My love for photography started like most; I picked up a camera and began snapping candid shots of my family and friends. However, it was the desire to create artful images that evoke emotion, that separates me from most. It is a passionate belief that your experience be relaxed, personal and fun! Thank you for visiting my blog today! I invite you to visit my website, if you've not done so already. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Blessings~

Skip's Summer School

I recently returned from my trip to Las Vegas. It was my first time visiting and it was AMAZING! I have to be honest....this trip was not all business. Lets face it...I was in Vegas! I had the distinct honor of attending Skip's Summer School. A summer school and trade show all in one for photographers of all kinds. The speakers were amazing! Their talent, their stories and their generosity, not only as people, but also as professionals, was refreshing. I have said it time and time again....but one more time won't hurt...photographers LOVE their jobs and it shows. Their optimism, hard work and dedication are just a few qualities that make this profession so attractive. And it is the photographers dedication to their trade, their desire and want to share and teach, that make it even more attractive and inspiring. Thank you to Skip Cohen and an even bigger thank you to Greg Schrader for giving me, a small town girl...a newbie in the industry, the opportunity to attend and learn from the best! An inspiring visit that has left me excited to put in place all that I have learned!
