Meet Our Photographers

Gretchen Yengst

I’ve been a photographer all my professional life and have loved every minute! In 1965 my Dad gave me my first Nikon and I dove into it, graduating college with a BFA degree. For 23 years I had my own company publishing short-subject documentaries for schools and libraries. In 2002, my partner and I sold that business and I went solo purchasing my first digital camera and extending my photography services to cover families, events and corporate work. I love to tell stories with my images, and one of the things I relish doing here on VG at Guavaberry for a month is shooting the underwater world ... using natural light and one of my good cameras in an underwater housing... showing people things they might never see. I have so enjoyed documenting the heroic recovery here at Guavaberry. For myself and my husband Chuck, everyone here is like our family.
