| Introduction | I'm the wife to the most amazing man, a mom of a 12 year old girl, a 9 year old boy, and a yellow 10 year old Labrador retriever. :) We live by the ocean in California and spend as much time as possible at the beach. I love Jesus. He's my strength, my hope and my joy....I strive to please Him in all that I am and in everything I do. I couldn't live without Him! My children and I have a rare and incurable disease (Mastocytosis) that prevents them from attending school and keeps me from working outside of my home full-time. So even though I am a former public school teacher, I now homeschool my kids full-time and I became a family and child photographer along with an Etsy print designer on the side. Photography has always been a passion of mine and I love that a hobby has now become a source of income for my family. Being a photographer allows me the freedom to get out of the house and spend time with people without overdoing it...it's the perfect job for me, that is, along with teaching my own children :)....I am so thankful for this gift from the Lord. I post snippets of our life on my blog along with a lot of pictures....I would love it if you'd stop by and say Hi! :) |
