My photographic philosophy: I celebrate the unique differences in each person, event and place. I relish in capturing life as it happens naturally. I anticipate it! I love creating an emotional image, one that you will cherish. I seek for beauty in the simplest most unexpected places. I enjoy carrying my camera where I go, making an interpretation of that moment and archiving it for good. Creating a beautiful, stunning final print you won't be able to take your eyes off of and giving you lasting memories of the people you love. These things put a smile on my face.

Do you love brown? I do.

Without getting too personal, it's been a tough week for me emotionally and physically. My husband and children, have been wonderful through it all. They have made it easier.

We went up to the farm for 5 days to get away. The second day it snowed, SIX inches and then melted the next day. The dusty dirt became thick, slopping, brown mud. Not an easy thing to slop through while walking along the road, let alone working. But my in-laws kept going, like always, tending to the animals and the land, as if nothing could ever phase them.

I needed to keep my head up and look for the beauty in my own personal situation. So I picked up the camera and began to photograph and found beauty in the brown around me. Then, I came back home and decided to work on a few of the images, emphasizing the brown in the images with a little help from adobe. Brown really can be beautiful.
