About Scott Olsen
I have been interested in photography for decades, and have been collecting my favorites as well as client favorites for many years. I have had the opportunity to photograph family and friends, portraits, weddings and many other events. I have found great pleasure also taking pictures of nature--from the insect on a flower, a river in a park, to seasonal shots of lighthouses.
