Camera in hand, following her heart

I am a photographer that was raised in the heartland of the Midwest in rural Indiana. My love of photography started several decades ago when I took photographs of my flower gardens. What started out as a couple of pictures here and there turned into an obsession for photography. In fact, my friends and family will tell you I always have my camera in hand!

My passion for photography and travel has allowed me to capture the world's beauty with my vision through my lens. I find it gratifying that I am able to share this vision with others. I hope that as you look at my work, you'll be able to see the beauty and wonder of the simple things in life.

I am a photographer that likes to push the envelope. I am always looking for learning opportunities for growth and knowledge. I am currently in the Photography Program at Joliet College to expand my knowledge and abilities.

I am a member of the Plainfield Art League, so you will find my work exhibited and for sale around Plainfield, Illinois. Any of my work displayed in my online website gallery is for purchase and available in several options.

Please feel free to leave any comments on my work, as I always enjoy feedback. I am always striving to better my skills!

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the photographs!
