About Me

A day in the life of a stay at home mom:I can't manage anything clever so here's the basics: I'm a mom who loves to read, read, read, take pictures with old cameras, ride my bike to the post office, bake (I'm famous 'round these parts for my scones) and neglect all housework to play with my kids.

One of these days I'll get an online portfolio, but in the meantime here's a bit of my work:

My Interests

The German Romantic Movement, wet plate Photography, abandoned houses, flea markets, vintage clothes, EBAY

I'd like to meet:

Anyone, young or old, who'd like to pose for me. I'm looking for people in the Philadelphia area who would be interested in modeling for my photographs. You must have a sense of adventure, and be willing to put on vintage clothes I've probably found in an abandoned building.And... I think I'd run away with him.

Big fan of Adult Swim (Family Guy, Futurama, Home Movies, Sealab 2021, ATHF- Shake is the best and the ever awesome Venture Brothers)And I do love the Colbert Report- I undress Stephen with my eyes every night.
