“When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear”
Hi, everyone!
Thanks for visiting my page. I started doing photography as a hobby and as I went more and more down the rabbit hole, I realized that this was my passion. This lets me meet and connect with people from all walks of life. It helps bring me back down to reality, realizing that we’re all human and we all just need someone to understand that.
I love to travel and try new foods! I love exploring every little thing that I possibly can. I love sifting through old records to find that piece of treasure to take home and listen to. Sometimes I write, and sometimes I don’t. I have a little family whom I love. My son keeps me on my feet and together, we learn new things every day. My husband is part of my backbone, and I couldn’t do this without his undying support.
