About Me

  • About Me: I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. --C.S. Lewis This is a blog of parts of my life, photographed. "Abounding with anguish, confusion, bits of wisdom. Musings, meanderings, buckets of Joie de Vivre, and restful sojourns." Maira Kalman I have been married for 14 years to Steve and have Three children Jeff, Etienne (pronounced 8TN) and Chloe who we call Coco. I stay home with the kids and on most weekends during the Summer I am busy shooting weddings. I try to take one picture every single day as a way to remember and also to challenge myself to keep my eyes open. Thank you for stopping by I hope you enjoy the visit!
