I am the mom of identical twin, five-year old girls who were born in China and came home in July 2005. I have been married to my husband, who I met on a blind date, for 20 years. (And yes, I did get married at 12 in case you're trying to do the math!)
I am fairly artsy and have always dabbled in one creative pursuit or another. I took photographs with a traditional SLR camera and film for several years before I purchased my first DSLR shortly before we traveled to China to meet our girls. I actually moved to digital photography somewhat reluctantly but I can't imagine taking photos any other way now.
I currently shoot with a Canon 40D and most often use a 50mm 1.4 lens. I shoot almost exclusively in natural light but do use a flash every once in awhile. I do very little post processing and don't even own Photoshop but I have recently started playing a little in Light Room.
I really believe I have the best job on earth, and never forget how fortunate I am to spend my days with the two little girls who call me mom -- and who will almost always stop what they're doing so I can take their picture.
