I am a freelance photojournalist with 43 years combined experience as a photographer, blogger, writer, and editor. Most of the photographs on my blogs and news stories are my own work. My photography is greatly influenced by my childhood. My parents somehow managed to survive camping, fishing, and hiking with four children. These wonderful adventures became our routine summer vacations and my first exposure to wildlife, ecology, photography, and the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. I have traveled through most of the American West and lived in Texas, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico where I spent a great deal of time photographing wildlife. I am once again living in Texas with my husband, dogs, cats, pet ducks and peahen. I am blessed to live on two acres with Collared Peccaries, deer, rabbits, and hundreds of birds. I also travel three to five times a week to the Corpus Christi area to photograph and study birds. I hope you enjoy my work.
