A Kentucky girl, raised with nine brothers and sisters  is where I began. .  Being raised on a farm with it's own baseball team shaped my childhood.  Moving to Canada at age 20 exposed me to a different world in adulthood..........the trees, the water, the wildlife, the language.......EH! 

And I fell in love with the world

Canada is magical and mystical to me and has sparked my love for photography. Nature has always been where it is at for me. The folks of Canada, or at least in the Ottawa Valley are incredible. They have accepted me- that crazed single mom who was working as a hygienist, running a business, raising kids, managing a home and property and most notably is the founding member of the MANIAC SOCIETY! And Canadians have let me stay!

Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya

In 2000, my sweetie and I were married. As my sons, (the animals) were still living at home, Rick and I did not cohabitate for the first five years of our marriage. I never have been one to do things conventionally. Yes, we are now under the same roof and I must say that even though he drives me crazy at times that Rick is a wonderful partner.

He is my greatest treasure

The next chapter of my life will be about a shared project of both Rick and myself. That along with one day being a grandma should leave my life complete. God willing.
