Maile Wilson
If you count glamour shots as professional portraiture, then Maile has been shooting "professionally" for sixteen years. During that time, she owned and operated three successful studios in California, then in Texas.

She decided photography was not rocket science and started shooting in ways that interested her. With over a decade in the business, she fell in love with photography for the first time. She believes that art doesn't have to be complicated, and neither does your life. Her work can be found at the Relish Portrait Studio website and on her blog Daily Relish.
