Polk grew up in the outdoors taking pictures and working with horses, which she continues to do and many of her pictures have been captured from the saddle. She creates dramatic portraits by using the light to guide the eye to the subject. Weddings offer her the opportunity to capture people on one of the biggest days of their lives and she truly welcomes the challenge of capturing those special moments that so often occur in difficult lighting situations. Photography still gives Polk the same thrill it did as child, in fact the thrill is more intense now as she better understands her medium, she states, “With technology, the right gear, some good old fashioned know-how and a little intuition I’m getting images I had only dreamed of previously.”
