Mountain Spirit Photography: Coleen and John Graybill
Mountain Spirit Photography is a combination of the talents of John and Coleen Graybill.
Coleen has been a professional photographer for 29 years and is a Master Photographer and Certified Professional Photographer through the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). For over 26 of those years, she was a portrait/wedding photographer, winning many awards at the state, district and national association levels. The last 3 years she has concentrated on landscape and fine art images, bringing even more awards.
John graduated from the Rhode Island School of Photography; photography didn’t become a full-time career until Coleen came into his life in 2016. John entered his first national image competition last year and had an image make it into the PPA Loan Collection, the top 10% of the entire competition. He is currently working towards his Masters and Craftsman Degrees through PPA.
