 "Photography is now my business and raising my two young boys is my job, my new hobbies today include; painting, knitting, being a soccer player and a soccer Mom.  As a young woman, mother and wife I realize how important it is celebrate our femininity and photography is a great catalyst.  As I have learned from my children: we are always changing, growing and every difference is as important as the one before.  As we get older yesterday’s memories may fade unless they are captured in pictures."
