I have never failed to be impressed by her work or learn from her ventures into new terrain. She seems to be forever learning, expanding, and mastering a shooting situation before moving on.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Shveckle. First of all, she is a friend true and tried with the test of time. But also, she has been a practicioner and lover of the art of photography for many years and I am so happy that in her most recent reincarnation as Renaissance Woman -- shveckle, woman, wife and mother -- she has in her own Shveckle way followed her passion for photography while still wearing all these hats! There's a little of Shveckle in all these photos and I hope she will continue to bless the world with her point of view ...
