Be kind to others, or karma will bite you in the a$$

About Me

MY WEBSITE IS UP AND RUNNING: Zap-Photography.com
I am a photographer and graphic designer who works closely with animal rescue groups in finding homes for unwanted pets.Though I am available to shoot weddings, live concerts, family portraits, head shots and fine art commission work, my heart is most deeply connected with doing pet portraiture.

My Interests

Photography, reading, animals, trying to go as green as I can while encouraging others to do the same, home improvement (I am married to my home, but thankfully it lets my boyfriend live here too)!

I'd like to meet:

Clients to shoot, with or without pets.Other cool artistic people and animal lovers are welcome to drop a line, but I don't need to collect more friends on my profile, thanks for understanding

Music:

Hard Rock/Metal/80's Alternative, such as...

  • The Cult (my favorite!)
  • Soundgarden/Chris Cornell
  • Temple of the Dog
  • Iggy & the Stooges
  • Alice in Chains
  • Alice Cooper
  • Blondie
  • Bowie
  • Greta
  • Hoodoo Gurus
  • (early) INXS
  • Monster Magnet
  • Pete Droge
  • Motorhead
  • The Kinks
  • Cheap Trick
  • Holly & the Italians
  • Sisters of Mercy
  • Siouxsie & the Banshees
  • Catherine Wheel
  • Feline
  • PWEI
  • The Doors
  • Nirvana
  • doubleDrive
  • OURS
  • Butch Walker/Marvelous Three
  • The Killers (only because they've gotten down the sounds of all my favorite 80's bands from Ministry to the Cure!)
    • ...I really can't think of anything else new...which doesn't suck... ..

    Movies:

    I enjoy mostly comedies, psychological thrillers, and parodies...I have a hard time suspending my reality watching Sci-Fi, but LOVE special effects & FX make-up.

    Here are some of my favorites:

      This is Spinal Tap Mystery Men Almost Famous Desperately Seeking Susan Shrek I & II The Crow Singles Mars Attacks Austin Powers Finding Nemo- yeah, I cried 3x during the course of this movie (big mushball that I am)! Requiem for a Dream American History X Life is Beautiful Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

    I enjoy the likes of Woody Allen, Monty Python, and Mel Brooks movies, or anything that leaves tears of laughter and aching cheeks! That is always the sign of a good flick!

    Television:

    I only watch TV when it's already on- my hunny controls the remote since he's the couch potato. ;) I do enjoy watching "Animal Precinct", though it often breaks my heart in doing so, and of course, "Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe", "The Works", "Mythbusters" and other nerdy shows like those...

    Books:

    I have been on a roll lately reading books- mostly photo or animal behavior related. I do have a problem falling asleep while reading, but I am fighting it!!

    Heroes:



    My Mommy [1931-1985] & Daddy [1926-2005] for raising me to be the strong, independent woman I have become.
