Fun facts about me:
It all started with my high school journalism class.
As a photographer, many of my images have been published
along with stories I have written for various magazines.
I love peanut butter.
As a storyteller, I respect the fact that all living things
share some sort of collective consciousness.
I got to meet Oprah Winfrey on her girls getaway cruise. I was hired to capture the spirit of friendship that Oprah and her lifelong best friend, Gayle, share.
I am a life-long equestrian, nature-lover, dog friend and animal advocate.
I am grateful for the many animal teachers I have had the good fortune to meet.
Most days, I can be found riding my horses, hiking with dogs, or reading a book.
I am a writer, an educator, and photographer.
The stories we tell become our lives.
I am a lifelong teacher and student.
I am solar-powered.
I will shoot pro-bono for animal rescue organizations.
