Specializing in Special Kids

Pictures, snapshots, phone shots, they all have their place -- But for legacy, memories and permanent impressions, I believe in art, an archival quality image that freezes that memory to become timeless, for it will never come again. I'm the wife of a 25-year veteran retired Army military member. We have two daughters and three granddaughters. This is my second career, having retired as an executi

ve assistant and medical transcriptionist after 37 years. I have a passion to create art, images, memories, and vow to capture these for my clients -- in my home area of Florida, in tiny humans, pets, and those who adore them. I have a particular niche in my heart for making multi-generational memories since I learned (when I was 55) that I was adopted, which answered why there are no pictures of me as a baby or toddler! It has become my crusade for my clients to have artwork of their family that remains on their walls years after the children have grown, the laughter has quieted, and the pitter patter may be from Fido's nails on the tile. Those memories may include their fur-baby, nieces and nephews, or families they have adopted as their own, not to mention the most precious gifts -- grandchildren. I can visit your home, measure your walls and together we will decide what artwork would look best in your home or on your coffee table. Would your senior want that "wow" factor poster? Do grandma and grandpa want a gift album of you and the kids? If you're not sure, I can make suggestions, and will even provide a make-up and hair artist for the perfect, coiffed look. Let me capture your moments in time, not just with those perfect (and not-so-perfect) posed shots, but also with the glimpses of messes, spills, laughter and fun that make you smile, long after the artwork has been hung.

"Second Time Around"
They didn't want formal portraits. But had to get one romantic one. Groom kept waving me off. This shot wasn't in great focus, but I made it work. One of my supporters' favorites

Too many friends, relatives and fur-parents have put off those portrait sessions. And suddenly it was too late.

Update: I believe I have a session to photograph a 14-year-old sheltie. And also, across the state, a session with a high school senior, and perhaps her family, and besties. Still looking for that youngster who’s lost their first tooth, and a multigenerational family. How about someone who’s reached a milestone – – the weight-loss journey, leaving a traumatic relationship, celebrating a new job, or a new/1st home? 

Give your suggestions and book with me! Help me fill my calendar!

Marketing class challenge: Looking for a soon-to-be mama, an aging pet to immortalize, a little yummy tyke who just lost their first tooth, and a multi-generation family -- DM me!

A challenging piece -- depiction of "red." Finally found a mother/daughters trio to model for me. I think this is an amusing, and dynamic piece. Mom was quite into it and played a real character!
