dabbling...


I've been taking pictures for as long as I can remember...seriously. I shot photos in high school, taught photography while working as a camp counselor, took photos of Penn State football (Go State!) for two seasons, and recently decided that natural light photography is more than just a hobby for me. So I am embarking on the world as a new business owner and thriving artist...blogging seems like the best way to make my work and passion available for other to see.


This photo was recently named a semi-finalist in a National photography competition. A dear friend allowed me the opportunity to take maternity photographs of her and her sweet little boy, unfortunately, she and her husband experienced a terrible tragedy, when they lost their son in utero one week before delivery. This photo and experience have a very special place in my heart...we all now have a special angel watching out for us.


I am really enjoying the ride so far...jump on, it's bound to be an exciting adventure...
