i am a dreamer. i believe in following your passion to fulfill your potential. it still confounds me to think that this - lavishly indulging my creative spirit and love of photography - is my job! and i'm so thankful to God, and to the boys in my life: to my husband for making it possible, and to my son for being the reason for it.

i am a storyteller: i design with images in pencil, paint and henna; i craft with words on paper and on screen; i write with light, with my camera. so much is beautiful to me; i can't resist the pull of capturing it, one way or another. when i create your pictures, i want you to be able to read in them the stories i've found, and see in them the beauty i see. because beauty is truth...
