Family

The absolutely hands down most important part of my life. I'm so lucky, my adult children still like to hang out with us! 25 years later, still taking photos of my kids and yes, occasionally I am actually in one if we do a selfie.

Family - is it always easy - no. Do I cherish all my moments - yes, because all those moments

got me right here. That's why I love to look through all of the photos I have taken

and feel those moments all over again.

Why I love what I do

I love pictures - by looking at a picture I can remember and feel that exact moment -

sad, happy, disappointing, bittersweet,

all out joy - all the emotions.

This picture - that day, hot and humid -

fights over who controlled the hose,

but she finally gave her brother

a drink and all was good...

It brings a smile to my face, reminds me of the sheer exhaustion of motherhood, the rollercoaster of emotions,

and the love between siblings.

Favorite Things

Coffee- lots and lots of coffee everyday!

Exploring the outdoors-epecially with my fav hiking partner, my husband

Music-my stress reliever and motivator, love all kinds, especially listening to local bands

My cats-I just love them, I don't know why, I always have. Don't worry,

my dogs get some lovin' too!

Travel-love a spontaneous road trip, a good old-fashioned map and a highlighter!
