Profile
Hello! I am a wife, mother, paraeducator for ‘special needs children’, worship leader and piano teacher. Photography is a new passion of mine. I also enjoy playing the flute and guitar, bicycling and cooking. I have a huge flower garden in my backyard which I enjoy, so expect to see lots of flower photos! My husband works at John Deere as an industrial mechanic. I have one daughter at Iowa State University majoring in political science and advertising. I have another daughter at Northwestern University studying communications and journalism. I have a poodle named, Samantha, who is very precious to me. I’ve lived in Iowa all my life, however, have traveled most of the United States. I’ve also been to Italy, Austria, Switzerland, France and England.
