being me...

"every child is an artist.  the problem is how to remain an artist once she grows up."  pablo picasso

as a kid one of my favorite past-times was to pour over my mom's photo albums.  soon i was making my own, documenting the stories of our lives.  i became that girl who was always taking pictures, shoving her camera in your face, and forcing people to "get together and smile!"

i continued to "play" with photography for years, but never dared considered myself an artist.  but what is true in us can't stay hidden forever.  i had many friends and family who called out my 
creativity and gifts.  they named me an artist, a photographer.  

and know i have the honor to capture people's stories and create pieces of art for them...it's beyond my own dreams!

so i am...

creative.

sensitive.

loves to celebrate.

a good listener.

prefers letters to e-mail.

a wife.

hopes for peace, justice, and love to rule.

an artist.
