About Me

I'm creative by nature. My good friends call me Martha Stewart on crack because i can just about create anything out of anything. I LOVE art and anything crafty. I'm also a small business owner and absolutely love my life. It's one of the hardest things you can do, but if you have the passion, drive and the guts to do it, its worth it. I co-own and run a small photography studio with my amazing boyfriend Richie Pizzuti. I was very lucky in the fact I realized what I wanted to be when "I grew up" when I was about 8. With some minor detours I stuck with that track. I knew I wanted to be a photographer and I knew I wanted to own my own company, now 20 years later I am living that dream.Although I do not have any children of my own, there are a few in my life who hold a special place. The first being my Ex's daughter Skylyn, I truly think she is my guardian angel. She came into my life when I thought I had hit rock bottom and even at the age of two taught me more about life and unconditional love that anything else ever has. To this day, almost 8 years later and 3000 miles away she continues to be the light in the center of my heart. The other's are the three kids Kayla, Riley and Porter of my two very best east-coast friends. They are two of the most amazing people I have ever met and I don't know if I would be able to handle being so far away from my friends and family in my native Cali. with out them.As for my west coast friends and my amazing twin sisters they are the glue that holds me together. When, as Richie likes to put it, crazy squirrels take over my brain. They are the ones who bring me back down to earth ... ahhh to be a dreamer.As for my wonderful amazing boyfriend (one of these days we will find the time to upgrade that status). He is the center of my soul. The one who knows and loves me unconditionally. He is my soul mate and my best friend. We work 18 hour days almost every day together and we still find time to be in love. Thank you for your heart, your love and your understanding. With out you I would not be living my dream.
