Welcome to AZ Image Is ...

Hello, my name is Ann Widmann. I am the proprietor of Arizona Image Is..., which offers freelance writing/ photography, web site design, editing and desktop publishing of items ranging from brochures to tabloids.

AZ Image Is... can help you nail that corporate report, create your newsletter or photograph your events. My proficiency in page layout (InDesign & QuarkXPress), word processing and photography (PhotoShop) ensures that you will walk away satisfied with a quality product.

Now that I've resumed my position as director of Arizona Image Is..., let me tap into my 20-plus years of media experience to assist you. I formed my company in 1996 but put it on hold while working as a fulltime journalist.

From May 2002 until September 2006, I was editor of
  the Navajo-Hopi Observer.  For the four and a half

years prior to that, I was editor of the Williams-Grand Canyon News, which is a sister publication of the Observer.

My history in community weekly journalism spans more than two decades starting in 1987 with the Independent chain in Chandler, Ariz. Before taking the job in Williams, Ariz., I was public relations assistant at Cochise College in Douglas, Ariz.

I was born and raised in Louisville, Ky., and graduated cum laude with a bachelor of arts in English literature from Bellarmine University in Louisville.

I have two grown daughters, one in the Lake Tahoe area, and the other resides in Silver Spring, Md., along with her husband and two children.

Although I have lived in the West since 1977, I will always think of Kentucky as home. My husband and I currently reside in Bisbee, Ariz.
