About Me

I'm a photographer and designer by trade. I love fashion, but usually wear zip up hoodies, Chucks, and jeans from The Buckle. I can't pass a shoe store without looking. I love tattoos. Autumn is the best time of year. I love learning new things. Nothing's better than an autumn afternoon nap with my doggy. I love to read, make art, watch movies, listen to music and play pinball. Give me a reason to wear an elaborate outfit, and I'm there. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I like scary stories and singing around a camp fire. Someday, I'd like to travel the world with my husband. I'm attracted to what's considered "weird". My photo teacher calls me DA for Diane Arbus. I change my mind all the time. I can be shy, but if you break through that outer layer I'll be fiercely loyal to you...

Isn’t it weird...
