Robin Swanson is a professional photographer and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who realized that her accounting and business skills could be combined with her photography skills to create a successful photography business.

Robin has always loved photography, and several years ago decided to become a professional photographer. She is a member of San Fernando Valley Professional Photographers (SFVPP), Professional Photographers of California (PPC), and Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and attends every photography convention, seminar, and class that she can fit into her already busy schedule.

Robin has easily adapted her business and accounting skills to her growing photography business. During these past few years she learned a lot about photography from her peers, but also noticed that some of them could benefit from her accounting and business knowledge. As a Certified QuickBooks Professional Advisor Robin is helping other professional photographers use QuickBooks software to accurately account for their finances. In March 2007, Robin made her first QuickBooks presentation to Gold Coast Professional Photographers Association.

In addition to professional photography, Robin works full time as the CFO for a small aerospace related business in the San Fernando Valley.

Robin photographs anything that gets in front of her camera – from people to pets to cars to nature. Robin is never a stranger for long, her engaging and lively personality, make her a welcome photographer at any event. She photographs weddings, class reunions, family reunions, sporting events, car shows, dog shows, graduations and school events. Robin’s great rapport with adults, children, and even pets creates an environment conducive to capturing beautiful images. Several of Robin’s photographs have earned merits in regional print competitions and in PPA’s International Print Competition
