I live in Dutchess County, New York. I have loved taking pictures since I was a kid, but mostly just took pictures to document family vacations and how much my children change every year. In the last year or so that has changed. Photography has become one of my favorite hobbies. My husband bought me an excellent camera for Christmas which is way beyond my current skills. My goal is to master it and eventually take truly beautiful photos. My favorite photographers are Ansel Adams and Art Wolfe.
