About Me

I was a preschool teacher for Head Start for 12 years. I have recently begun a new role with Head Start, as a mentor/coach for the new teachers coming into the organization. I'm also a photographer, and work for an action sports photography company during the summer months, and take pictures of Santa and the Easter Bunny at the mall during the holiday seasons. I do my own photo work as well, including class photos, individual portraits, senior photos, etc...Here are some samples of my sports photography...Go see samples of my portraits, wedding photography, class photos, etc....

This is what happens when your leg gets in the way of a baseball.....I have 2 absolutely fantastic boys, DJ (16) and Brendan (14) We spend a lot of time together doing music stuff - we go to a lot of concerts, volunteer for our local blues community, play instruments, etc. My boys work with me at the sports photography job... D.J. is a computer whiz and works on the photoshop end of things. Brendan is a social butterfly and is great at talking to the customers and showing them how to find their photos. Music has always been a central part of my life. I like nearly every genre, other than for rap, and I'm not all too fond of country or jazz but can handle them in small doses. I love to fish, but never seem to find enough time to go... I'll go again someday, I hope.

The Meaning if the Dragonfly.... In many cultures, the dragonfly is regarded as a symbol of light, adaptability, grace and transformation. It is no wonder that the dragonfly holds out its wings so straight and proud. Not only is it one of the most brilliant and beautiful insects, but it is also rich with meaning too!This ability to reflect and refract light is responsible for the dragonfly's status as a "light-bearer," as well as a symbol of all the power and presence that is associated with light and love. Dragonflies remind us that we, too, are "light-bearers" and silently encourage us to let our own light shine forth. In addition, dragonflies exhibit the many colors of life. With maturity, the dragonfly's own true colors come forth, as it learns to bend, shift and adapt light in a variety of ways. These bright colors take time to develop, but are always worth the wait because they ultimately reveal the insect's deepest inner beauty. The dragonfly demonstrates the utmost adaptability and grace as well. No bird or other insect has the flight maneuverability of the dragonfly, which can quickly change directions when necessary. They are experts at going where they need to be and doing what they need to do. Traditionally, the dragonfly is the symbol of transformation and life's ever-constant process of change. Although the dragonfly spends the majority of its life on the bottom of a pond as a larva, it always rises above that. The dragonfly works its way through the weight of water and into the sunlight, gathering and garnering what it needs to change and unfold. When it is ready, it sheds its protective casing and flies away from the pond, to ultimately unite with other dragonflies, which have also completed their transformation and are even more vibrant and alive.
