Hello friends, clients, and potential customers! Welcome to the newest installation of my photography web adventures!

To start, I'm a high school English and journalism teacher/part-time photographer. I do weddings,engagement pictures, family portraits, senior pictures, maternity sessions, prom photos, team pictures, and even photograph the occasional random event(I have done Surprise Party's, Dog Shows, Family Reunions, and more).

While I love seeing my work make people happy, what many are surprised to learn about me is that I REALLY love travel photography and capturing the essence of a place I am visiting. If I didn't have to earn a paycheck, I would love to spend my days wandering the earth and photographing the beauty it has to offer.

As you will see from looking at my work, I thoroughly enjoy macro photography of flora and fauna and use every opportunity I get to explore this realm.

I recently upgraded my camera to the Canon 40D and added the IS 28-135mm lens to my collection. As I am a poor teacher who spends what extra money she has on travel, I am (Was) only shooting with a Canon Digital Rebel XT. I have three other lenses I use: a Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens, a Canon EF Zoom 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS lens, and a Sigma MACRO 50mm F2.8 EX DG lens.

Enjoy your look around. I will try to update regularly, but these things tend to go in spurts for me, so be patient. In the meantime, Happy Snapping.
