First off, I will block you if you have questionable content in your photo stream including porn/sex/perverted images as well as if your groups are not family oriented. I will also block you if you have no photo on your profile and no photos in your photo stream. There are way to many sickos out there!

I started off as a Fire Science Student with the goal of becoming a Firefighter/Paramedic. I finished all the classes and was getting ready for the Firefighter 1 Academy. I worked in EMS for a bit and then my life’s path changed direction when I was diagnosed with cancer. While dealing with this disease I continued educating myself through different online classes, one of which was photography. I already loved taking pictures but through these classes found a new passion and way to serve the community. My love for firefighting has not changed but my vision has. I now have the opportunity to be involved in both of these passions only this time it’s through a lens, I am the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Departments Volunteer Photographer. My goal is to capture the feeling and emotion of the moment by telling a story through my photographs. In addition to Fire Department Photography I have a small business called In Between the Glass where I offer Studio/Outdoor single/groups, families, couples/engagements, maternity, new born/infant/children, senior portraits, head shots and modeling. I also do event and action photography including rodeos, children's birthday parties, Bay Area Adventure Race, sporting events, and military training.

When I don't have a camera in my hands or face I spend as much quality time with my family. My husband is a captain in our local fire department and my best friend. I am a mom to 2, a daughter with the most adorable grandkids ever and a son who is currently in the military and deployed over seas. We also have 3 dogs that are the world to us. You will see a lot of photos of them!! Other than that I love being outside, camping, spending time with friends and laughing. Life is too short not to live, laugh and love! Thanks for visiting. Feel free to leave me comments and or constructive criticism on my work as this is how I will get better!
