Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me. I've been interested in photography since 2008, but the hobby slipped away from me for a period of time while my husband and I both went back to graduate school. Recently I decided to pick my camera up again and start taking photographs while life happens! Or, as one of my close friends likes to put it, "Document!" I feel there's no better way to tell (and remember) a story than by looking at photographs. My inspiration for photography comes from a few different places... I enjoy "documenting" everyday life, including while I travel (Hawaii is a common theme), and also enjoy learning about photography from my dad, who specializes in fine art photography.

For my professional life, I am a nurse, a nursing instructor at a large university and volunteer on a board of directors for a professional nursing organization in my state. For play I enjoy traveling with my husband, staying physically active, playing and snuggling with our mini Australian Shepherd (Kona), reading, relaxing, spending time with family and friends, and spending time at the lake. My husband is a pilot and I will sometimes bring my camera along to capture the world from a totally different perspective while being up in the air.

If you have any comments for me, please feel free to leave them! Thanks for checking out my Betterphoto page. :)
