Biography:

Sherry Schultze was raised in Fulda, Minnesota. In high school she worked for the school yearbook staff. She was inspired to create portraits for others professionally decades ago.

           After high school she attended Southwest State University, Marshall, MN and explored speech, creative writing and English education. In 2001 she transferred to Minnesota State University-Mankato, for her Bachelor of Fine Art in photography. She worked for Barnett Photo Inc, downtown Mankato, as a lab technician. Sherry learned to color correct professional and amateur images, and complete all orders from various media. Sherry became their principle photographer in 2003, where she created portraits for business professionals, MSU sport teams, children, families and high school seniors. Mrs. Schultze worked with the Mankato figure skating club for five years, as well as with Leep, Mayba, Magfa, and miscellaneous area sport teams.
