Virginia Howell and her husband Bill are originally from Michigan, but are now full-time residents in Venice FL.

Southwest Florida is a wonderful area; we enjoy every minute living here. Because we have nine grandchildren I can regularly be seen at a local airport, off to visit them in Michigan. 

When the Venice Gulf Coast Living Magazine asked if they could use one of my photos on their cover, it was then I decided I should do what I love as a profession. It is so nice to love what you do and look forward to doing it day after day! It pleases me to know that many people in Florida and across the world are enjoying my photography.
