About

Lia Ballentine is a designer, photographer, writer, and bookmaker based in Knoxville, Tennessee. She co-owns FinestraPhoto with her husband Brandon. They have a dog named Otis and a cat named Miu-Mius. Lia loves singing, playing guitar, traveling to exotic places, and eating exotic foods (to name a few passions). She is also a Flickr addict pro user, dedicated Twitterer, and design/photo/tech junkie.
Lia holds a master’s degree in English, and her thesis (Social Disruption in the Gothic Novels of Horace Walpole, Elizabeth Inchbald, and Jane Austen) may be found (and purchased) on Amazon.com. Buy it if you want to read about tyrannical patriarchs and haunted castles. However, if you’re in the mood for a visual journey through France and Monaco, buy her book Bon Voyage, a photography coffee table book, through her Blurb bookstore.
