Her Grandfather introduced her to cameras and photographs as a little girl. It was his love of photography that kindled a spark and the beginning of a life long love for photography. Drea’s first interest grew into a passion and finally a profession. Drea studied photography at Ridgewater College’s Professional Photography Program. After completing the program in 2004 she spent nearly five years working closely with and learning from three of Minnesota’s most talented photographers. Drea’s education and experiences combined with her natural talent for photography creates images and works of art for people to treasure. "When I say I want to PHOTOGRAPH someone, what it really means is that i'd like to know them." -Annie Leibovitz
