Our Green Mission Statement
Since attending RIT, I have been very interested in sustainable practices as just plain common sense. This was a HUGE drive toward my vegetarianism and for years and years I have been invested in keeping my waste to a minimum. From my super awesome brown canvas frame and album bags to my new line of framing and albums, there have been a lot of changes in my studio this year. I am the first Photographer in Rochester to switch from DVDs to Jump Drives (USB drives) for the High Resolution image files! I use Wind energy which charges my reusable batteries and my computer equipment. I work from home, which saves a commute. I bike or walk to run my errands and only use my car for shooting days. All of my vendors are in the Northeast to save shipping energy. I have several websites for my clients to visit for pricing and policies instead of mailing brochures.
