I am a passionate mother to four trying to figure out how to live this life to the fullest. I have recently found my escape from the madness right behind my lens.. I am trying to stay real to what my eyes consider beautiful or interesting. Others might like my work others may not, to each is own. Like the Tao says when we find beauty in something it makes other things ugly. I like to capture those moments in life that only a camera can freeze, those little moments we let pass us by when we get caught up in the every day stresses. I love taking pictures of children and people, anything that tells us a story or shows us a piece of the persons personality. At the moment I shoot with a Sony alpha 350 and I use a vintage minolta af maxxum 50mm f1/7 lens. I also am currently a few hundred dollars away from my dream Canon 5d Marks... So keep the fingers crossed...
