Just Me

I have always loved photography, even as a small child. I obtained my "official" photography education through the New York Institute of Photography. I started off as a wedding photographer and was quickly sought out for other projects. My work has been published numerous times in a wide variety of formats including magazines, books, CD covers, textbooks, websites, newspapers, and even on television a few times. I am on the Board of Directors, the Regional Coordinator for the state of Oklahoma, and a Photographer for Operation: Love Reunited. OpLove is an international 501(c)3 organization that provides free photography services to our military families.

On a more personal note: I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a best friend. I am a free spirit that loves adventure and adrenaline. I am a neurotic, spontaneous perfectionist. I am laid-back when I am not wound up. I believe it is the duty of every US citizen to support our men and women in uniform (both past and present). I am lucky enough to be married to my best friend (who was such for 17 years before we got married). I believe in both the power of prayer and in karma. I hate television and will take a good book over watching it any day. I am haunted by a small medicine-man and his owl; both visit me often in my dreams. I have been told that I am too smart for my own good. I am not a morning person. I believe in Carpe Diem, which does not allow regrets. Friday the 13th is my favorite day. I get bored easily. And, I love sunflowers because they grow wild and their yellowness makes me smile.
