I'm a work from home photographer whose passion is my children and my work. I'm slowly evolving into a photographer I didn't think I could be. After 6 years, I feel like I can say that my hard work is paying off. I love what I do, both as a mother and a photographer. (There's nothing more rewarding than either job, and really, neither are "jobs" to me at all.) I wouldn't change a thing about where my life has taken me. I thank God for every step of it.

I hate to add this in but I'm going to have to. If you do not have a photostream that I can view or you have very little photos in your stream I WILL BLOCK YOU. My photos are not on here for people to do sick-o things with. Enough said.
