A native of New Jersey, I have called Louisiana, specifically Baton Rouge and New Orleans, home for the past nine years. Although South Louisiana is home, I travel often to the beautiful (and photo op rich) country of Belize. I am a novice photographer but my love of photography runs deep. I begged for and received my first camera in kindergarten. Since then I have loved taking pictures. Every tim
e I flew home from college at Florida State University, I would buy a travel magazine, pour through the pictures while on the plane, and then, upon my arrival in Philadelphia, announce that I wanted to be a travel photographer when I "grew up." Needless to say, my parents were not so receptive to the idea of me abandoning my other dream of becoming a Mergers & Acquisitions attorney. Fast forward about 20 years. I fulfilled my dream of being a Mergers & Acquisitions attorney long ago. I also fulfilled another dream of becoming a Professor of Law, which has been my job for the past seven years. But my college dream of taking pictures with a "real camera" (aka, a DSLR) went unfilled until early 2015. While taking iPhone pictures of a beautiful Belizean sunset, I met a photographer who said I had "a fire in my eye" for photography. So I returned to the United States, bought my first "real camera" (a Nikon D5500), and then promptly signed up for lessons as I had no idea how to take pictures in manual mode! After seeing some pictures I took, my photography teacher, unaware of my college dream, said, "You should be a travel photographer." She encouraged me to start a website and a blog to share my photography. I hope that you enjoy my site. I also hope that my story reminds you to never forget your dreams. happy sunsets, love, and wanderlust!
