Photography means so much more to me then just taking a picture. For me it is an emotion and the storytelling component that goes along with the image. Photography is good for my soul and spending time with nature is so therapeutic. In the last few years I have done many of my bucket list trips. Most of my trips were to photograph the beautiful wildlife that this world has to offer. When Covid hit in 2020 I started to photograph the birds in my backyard and the summer of 2024 and 2025 I was thrilled to photograph many species of pollinators including the beautiful monarch. I even had a Eastern screech owl in our backyard. I don't have to go far to find beauty. I just have to open my eyes to see. I enjoy photographing wildlife the most but also enjoy photographing my rescue dogs of which I have three and I also have three rescue guinea pigs. I love my alone time that I spend with nature and the relaxed feeling I get after a great day out.
