As a graduate from Arizona State University with a degree in English Literature, my background in writing poetry prepared me more for photography than I realized, as I had been “painting with words” for years. As soon as I put my husband's Canon SLR to my eye under his careful instruction a couple of years ago, it was as if at long last I heard a decisive click, Yes!

My passion for photography compels me to shoot everyday, and like an omnivore, to shoot everything ranging from candid portraits of people and kids, the rush of urban life, the colorful world of flowers and insects, the occasional rainbow, and dogs, lots of dogs, my own two Havanese especially. Essentially, I shoot as much as I can cram into my camera frame, and sometimes a bit more.
