I became interested in a Kodak 110 film camera at a relatively young age. I took it everywhere with me! Once I became a pre-teen, I upgraded to a 35mm film camera and took it everywhere. I only wish I still had the photos.

Color and textures. I'm drawn to macro photography because I love seeing finer detail, like the edges of an Autumn leaf or a droplet on a blade of grass. I also vastly prefer to shoot in the late afternoon light.

I do want to work more on my people photography skills.

Ahh, the glory days! I got frustrated with the ebb and flow of it. It would be super mega busy one year and then dead for 12 straight months the following year. I also got overwhelmed by keeping it fresh and updated with the various projects while I was working full-time and being a single mom.

100% my grandmother. We lived with her for many years, and not only did she cook incredible meals from scratch almost every night, and taught me how to cook. As a result, I can cook just about anything now.

I developed a passion for great fresh ingredients, and to this day, I'd much instead source our food from my garden, local farms, and farmer's markets than from the grocery store.
