“Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.” --John Quincy Adams

I love jeans, wine and a book you can’t put down. I have no idea where my life is going and can’t stand people who think they do cause it’s not likely to go where you want it! I’m a former TV journalist and media junkie turned into photographer because it’s a much happier existence and filled with positive energy. Dogs have got to be some the coolest creatures on earth, and I wish I could come back as my own spoiled labradoodle. I’m married to the most amazing man ever and have to pinch myself into tears to believe that I found him. I’m on a mission to bake all 36 Martha Stewart chocolate cake recipes, but I think it may take 10 years to do it. The 12 layer crepe cake has got to be her most intimidating recipe. I think marketing is a game, and I get a serious kick out of winning it once in a while. Same with sales-there’s nothing quite like that uncontrolled giggle that pops out of me when a client who spent $3000 walks out my door. Happens every time. Business person/artist, I am one of those oddly coordinated left AND right brain folks....creative and curtailed...all in one. Roll your eyes all you want, but I also just happen to think Katy Perry rocks. Nothing quite like hitting I-5 and jamming to “Teenage Dream” with your rock star husband next to you. Love rules.
