I'm a mom of 5 sons (the wolves) who currently resides in the Lake County Illinois area. What’s the saying though...Have camera, will travel. I'm a grounded wanderer, out of the box creative visionary, ginormous hearted goofball, and, well, kind of an anomaly...LOL. I’m always actively trying to grow as an individual and better myself, so I'm constantly learning, studying, evolving, and creating.

Photography has always been more than a hobby for me—it’s how I connect, remember, and make sense of the world. From a young age, I felt compelled to document the everyday: people, places, and moments that might otherwise slip by unnoticed. What began as a way to preserve memories gradually became a deeper practice rooted in storytelling and conservation.

Nature, in particular, has shaped both my life and my work. It gives me peace, perspective, and a clarity I struggle to find elsewhere. It grounds me, helps me understand myself more deeply, and serves as both refuge and inspiration. Over time, this relationship has not only fueled my love for photography—it has become the heart of my artistic exploration. Today, nature is my primary subject, and its constant evolution presents endless photographic opportunities.

Every photograph I create is a reflection of my personal and creative journey. My wins and losses, persistence and self-doubt, passion and vulnerability—they all exist within my work. I share these images not only to express my own experience, but to spark connection and conversation with others—especially those I might not otherwise cross paths with. Through my lens, I hope to illuminate the quiet, powerful beauty of our world—and to remind us all of its significance, one frame at a time.
