Betsy grew up in Fairfield, Connecticut, enjoying all that New England has to offer...but after getting a BS in Business at the University of Colorado, she decided to stay out West. Except for a few years in Santa Barbara CA to attend the Brooks Institute of Photography, Boulder CO was her home until 2004. Colorado was a great home base for photographing the West and hiking, biking, skiing and camping in the Rocky Mountains. It was also a great home base for visiting all 50 states and over 30 foreign countries.
