Hmmm, how do I fill up a whole “about me” page?...

I love photography. I fell in love with it when I was seven years old after finding a hopechest full of B&W photos at my Grandma’s house. I got my first camera in the fourth grade and I’ve had one ever since.

I have a degree in Dental Hygiene (which really didn’t prepare me much for my current career in scrapbooking and photography) and haven’t really pursued a career as a professional photographer because quite honestly, all I want to do is take pictures of my own family and all the little stuff that makes up our everyday lives.

I also love teaching. And I could talk for days on end about photography if given the chance.

Which is precisely why I am teaching photography classes.

What else? I started scrapbooking back in 2000 (thanks to my best friend for the last 25 years, Jill) and I started my own scrapbooking line in 2003, called Narratives.

I teach photography and scrapbooking classes all over the place (Oregon, Texas, Brazil, Massachusetts, Germany, etc.)

And, I’ve got this crazy, wonderful, little blended family of six going on (Josh and our four kiddos, Ross, Cole, Courtney and Annie).

And if you’re still reading...thanks.
