About
I love, love life and loving others as well as being being loved! Love the gifts God has blessed me with and love my profession! (it will never be work when you love what you do as much as I do!)
Not to sound like a speech, but- 1st... I love my God in heaven and then my husband Chuck who would give me my hearts desire at the drop of a hat. Our children, Lindsay, Colt and Chuck - all with their own uniquenesses and wonderful accomplishments of their own. I love life in general- although some days need an attitude adjustment for not being the perfect blue skies and an apple pie (yummmm) kind of day! God never promised that each day would be smooth sailing and problem free! (I wish!) He did give us a glimpes of heavens beauty in his rainbows...they're like a sideways smile to reminds us that He is with us through our storms! Who doesn't love a rainbow or a smile!
I love Florida! we moved here in 2010 from Michigan.
I love spending time at the beach enjoying the wonders of the waves rolling in from the ocean pushing the seashells and sharks teeth to the shore. Where sandcastles get built before being washed away and children play carelessly with their pails and shovels. Older youth skimming the water on their boards playing tricks with the waves. Couples walking hand in hand along the beaches holding dear - 'that moment' ...right then...with a new love or the memories of the many years shared together. Love the soft breezes and the sun in my face as I bask in the awesome beauty of God's sweet creation for the days end- SUNSETS! Sunrises are nice too- if you get up early enough!
I love a romantic love story, newborn babies, seeing family's spending time playing together, nonchalant flutterings of butterflies, puppies - no matter how big they get (I have 2 very large Golden Retrievers...Tucker and Yogi). Flowers, Dr. Pepper, pizza, a grilled steak, desserts, clean sheets, the fresh air after it rains, Hot air balloons, singing and dancing to my favorite 50's & 60's music, reading Linda Leal Miller books, romance, candlelight nights, bear hugs, sweet tender kisses!. Most of all, being able to capture most of these things with my camera. God blessed me with a creative way in seeing the everyday joys with a deep desire to grab the moments that we can never have back - (other than to have an image to refer to). Then my creative juices flow even more when I design my on-of-a-kind collages and adding my own special touches. I'm always looking for new and different ideas to try and strive for a uniqueness all my own! I'd like to think that shows up in my final work!
If you love life and want special moments in time to stand still- to be viewed over time reliving the memories for years to come, let me photograph you and your loved ones today!
