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.
