It's been officially 16 years since my photography career began. Although have been shooting since I was a teenager. Thanks to my Dad, who gave me his Nikkormat in the 70's. Still have it. Still gives me a thrill when the shutter "kerplunks" Living on an island off the coast of Georgia and the woman who ran the little photo lab, LOVED the images she saw that I had taken of my son , Dylan and would place my prints out on the counter for customers to see. Pretty soon, Mom's were calling me to do the same with their children and I did that many times over the next several years, for free... Never occurring to me that one could actually make a living doing what they loved to do! Now shooting digitally and hundreds of families later, it is still my favorite photography work ....often feeling like a part of the family, watching these children grow up, thru the lens, and going on to photograph their siblings and extended family. Some of these families I have been working with for 16 years. What an honor. Since moving to Santa Fe in 2004, my work has been published in THE Magazine, El Palacio, The Santa Fean, Trend, Where Women Create , Rapid River, Cowboys and Indians, Tumbleweeds, American Spectator and Visions of Santa Fe. I am involved in The Heart Gallery, traveling around New Mexico to photograph foster children, often times enlisting my son Dylan as my assistant. It is by far, one of the most rewarding shoots I do: www.heartgalleryofamerica.org/....
