•Crepuscular Rays (The God Rays) radiated down on the ocean waves as a sea lion ran by to greet her pup. My life changed in Ecuador...instantly. The start of my creative travels.

•I remember the first time I saw the movie reel of my mother, days before she gave birth to me. She was so young, so beautiful. I noticed her long blonde hair and her patchwork dress. I wanted a photograph of that! That's when printed mediums became my passion. Photographs are tangible memories to hold and display. Your history is important and something changes when you hold that reminder in your hands.

•My loves right now~ warm morning sunshine, embroidered clothing, lithops, 5 calorie chai, Queensbury Albums

•My loves forever~ My husband, turquoise, the perfect location, Ella, Makenna, Kendall, Jace, Deacon and Lena, traveling, Sunday family dinner

•The best thing you'll ever eat~ Cypress Grove Purple Haze Chevre on rosemary crackers with salted chipotle honey...it's a mouthful of deliciousness.

•Creating your portrait is more than just a pose. It's about capturing who you are in that moment so you can always remember how far you've come and how much life there is to live.
