I am a speech teacher at Virginia College who loves to spend time with my friends and family. I started taking pictures about 12 years ago with the birth of my first child. I had so much fun doing it. I would frame my work and the next thing I new I had people wanting to pay me to take pictures of their kids. I always told them I didn't do stiff indoor portraits. I love to do anything outdoors. I have a love for nature. I am an avid runner and love to take my camera when I go on trail runs. I have seen deer, wild turkey, foxes, turtles, snakes. My family laughs at me because I have yet to get a good picture of a snake. They never show up when I have my camera. My dogs are also my favorite subjects. Trust me they are very hard to get a good picture of, they are very hyper. I am not a pro photographer, I just love taking pictures. I have lots of fun playing. Sometimes I get payed for it. I honestly rather not do it for the money. It takes the joy out of it. It then becomes a job!
