The renowned local photographer also said she loved the process of taking photos of the New Year’s Eve fireworks and editing them when she got home.
"I love looking through my photos when I get home and seeing how they turned out,” she said.
“It's like watching the fireworks over again and being able to take in the beauty on pause.”
