En résumé

Entreprises

• Fotofunstory - Amateur photographer

  2013 - maintenant For those of you who want to befriend me on Viadeo, know that I am no longer a receptionist in banking! I now would like to dedicate my time in taking photos of events, birthday, anniversary, retirement parties, etc. I then make the albums that will last a lifetime and bring smiles to your faces every time you open them... of course unless you lose them, your house gets on fire, or your two year old gets a hold of them!
