Debbie Wolfe has more than 45 years of photographic experience and is now based in St. Petersburg, Florida. She specializes in Nature Art Photography.

As a lifelong environmentalist, her unique perspective has been honed over decades through her love and respect of the flora and fauna of our planet.

In Nature, she finds peace.

Her careers include being a print journalist/editor, and a Professor of Practice/administrator at the college level — at times concurrently; Always, her work has involved cameras.

When possible, she takes Mr. Salty Dog — a rescue — along with her on her photo adventures that she refers to as “safaris.”

Debbie is now retired from corporate America forever and is concentrating on her freelance photography business in addition to sharing time with family, friends, and her pets — Salty and Cricket Man Kitty, who is also a rescue but he doesn’t like to travel.

A founding small-town family
and the great outdoors

She was raised as an only child by older parents who were established in their careers. Though her mother did not have to work, she did and in the 1960s was proud to own her own brick-and-mortar beauty shop employing two other operators on the main street of Keego Harbor, Michigan — Debbie’s small hometown. There, her paternal grandfather was a member of the volunteer fire department and her dad, an engineer with General Motors Truck & Coach, served on the first city council.

Debbie was encouraged to be an outdoorswoman and as such, she grew up near or on inland lakes in Michigan enjoying all-day adventures on her bicycle or Sunfish sailboat; Extreme tree fort construction with neighborhood kids in nearby woodlands that included song birds and mammals was also involved.

The boundaries that her parents established were based on sunlight and that gave her the freedom she needed to feed her love of Nature and to experience peace.
