Profile
I am a shutterbug mom of 5, living in the beautuiful Fraser Valley.
I love taking portraits, especially of children (many of my own, who are always ready to model for me). I have recently taken on macro photography, and many other new adventures as well…
I fell in love with photography in grade 10, the first time I walked into the school darkroom with a friend (thanks Naomi). She had to finish a project for class, and I was instantly intrigued. The following year I took a photography class, now the camera pretty much never leaves my hands….
My camera equipment:
Canon Rebel XT, with a 18-55 lens
Lensbaby Original, with a macro kit and creative aperture set
Conon close-up lens 250D (for macro)
Canon PowerShot A630 (I bring EVERYWHERE)

Baby Angel (for Kalen)
Then came that sad and tearful day / when our sunshine went away. / You were here but for a little while / our precious Angel child.
