The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
Artists are a special breed of humans. Back when I started my journey to become a photographer, it was a little lonely. I'd meet seasoned photographers, but they had no interest in taking a total newbie like me under their wing. They were only friends with other highly successful photographers. It was sad for me....

You know that post that says something of, "You don't know what others are going through. Everyone is fighting their own battle," or whatever preachy nonsense? I just got a dose of that.

It’s a busy time of year for us and we've been here before. School gets started, Aria's schedule fills up, Vince starts a new bowling season, putting together Aria's birthday party, all the Fall activities, and in between there I do my best to keep it all going with perfect pitch-black eyeliner.

Cheers to you and all the great things you will become! A much, much younger friend sent this to me... Continue Reading →
I find myself in a place in my life where I'm such a mom. My life revolves around my husband, daughter, and work. I find myself always compromising on everything. I don't go to girly or scary movies because Husband doesn't like those. If we go to restaurants, it has to be something of Husband... Continue Reading →
With this school year wrapping up, it seems like my little familia is having a lot of stuff going on. There have been changes, endings and new things are coming very quickly. My people. First, one of our longtime friends Daniel, passed away a week ago. His brother David let us know last Sunday that... Continue Reading →
If you’re like me, you might have a playlist of music to save your life. At the very top of mine you can find "Disintegration" by The Cure. Oh, that song.
