Hello from Roanoke, Virginia! I was born and raised in Iowa. Life started as a farm child and from there my parents moved us into the small farming community of Whittemore, Iowa. As a teenager I was introduced to Arizona on a family vacation and lived there the majority of my adult life.

My sweetheart and I have been building a life together for the past 14 years after meeting on an internet dating site. We finally tied the knot in 2007. We currently live in Roanoke, VA and have also lived in Arizona as well as 4 years in Columbia, Maryland. The majority of my autumn photos and winter photos were taken in Maryland.

My photos will range from current family shots as well as some vintage black and whites, nature, pets (dogs), fauna flora, etc. We seldom travel away from home but in that rare event I also take my camera. Never leave home without it!

Please enjoy my photos and feel free to comment. I am a total amateur but it is something I have enjoyed doing since I bought my first Kodak S-10 way back when.
