I am a happy person and enjoy being around my

friends and family. Taking photos is relaxing and calming

to me. I am a complete amateur who sees beauty in many

places. In my professional life, I see many classroom environments...so you will notice a childhood emphasis in many of my photos. Most of my other photos are images that represent or remind me of the people, places, and memories that are dear to me.

Looking at the photos posted on Flickr is one of my

favorite things to do!
