I grew up in a small farming - industrial town in Indiana where I learned the love of photography from my dad. At the age of 15, my dad purchased a Canon AE-1 for me and started teaching me how to see the world through the lens.

After graduating high school in 1987, I moved to Michigan with my brother, mother, and stepfather where I met my husband Brian in 1988. I continued to take photographs of the nature in and around the area where I lived and practiced my skills of nature photography. After getting married in 1989, Brian and I moved to Ohio and I started taking nature photographs of the area around Dayton, Ohio. Several years later, we moved permanently to Cleveland.

I have spent the last several years working as a portrait, wedding, and modeling photogrpaher in the Cleveland area. I truly enjoy taking photographs of people and my love for nature is still part of my work.

I enjoy macro and close-up photography as well as architectural photography. I have worked on several projects in Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland and I have also worked on projects in the old churches in Cleveland. I really like trying new things and looking for new and exciting subjects to photograph.
