I have two incredible kids and a wonderful husband to whom I've been married for 22 years. I am passionate about photography. The very first "major purchase" I ever made was a pink and black automatic 35mm camera at age 10.  It was $70, which is a heck of a lot for a kid of 10!  A few years later, my parents gifted me my first SLR camera when I was studying photography in high school.

 

Equally as memorable was the purchase of my first digital camera. Film and sleeping-in both vanished with the birth of my first child. Though some remained loyal to film, I appreciated the limitless shots digital gave me when photographing my newborn.  (Though I do miss the quiet time that working in a darkroom gave me!)

 

Whether capturing life's milestones, creating a piece of fantastical art, or admiring the way the raindrops fell on my garden, photography has always been a part of my life.

 

Thank you for sharing your life with my camera and I.
