Hello there friend!

It's moi, the girl BEHIND the camera!

The "portal maker."

I'm a daydreaming, sensitive, kinda quirky, laugh at everything kinda gal. I never take myself too seriously, sometimes to a fault. I've got an inconsolable sweet tooth & am obsessed with Christopher Nolan films. 

I'm a boy Mom of  2, one human & one cat. I'm almost always listening to oldies and so I will more than likely subject you to them during our time together, the alternatives would be Noah Kahan, Lord Huron or Novo Amor. (Can you tell I'm a water sign? lol)

I've had a love for photography since before I even knew what it was, I was always taking pictures of everything, right down to the bugs & dandelions in the grass! I went through Kodak disposables like water. Then it was an iPod, then my smartphone, until I eventually wound up with my DSLR! 

I get it from my Dad, he was always snapping pictures of us on his Minolta film camera, which also ended up in my hands. And once I got to play with that baby, my passion REALLY bloomed and I hit the ground running. The rest is history!

Hmmm, what else? OH, I'm a huge cinephile and, as you could probably guess, I draw a lot of inspiration from them for my art. I could eat pasta for every meal (besides breakfast because that's reserved for french toast), and coffee & Dr. Pepper run through my veins. I'm a hopeless romantic, I cry at almost everything (Pisces gang), and my son Oliver is my pride and joy. Also, hope you don't mind being called "babe" a lot because yes I am one of those people. And I will not be apologizing!
