Welcome to my Blog!

i got interested in photography because.....
it's a burning passion for me. i have had a camera since forever but
i got my real film SLR camera when i was 17. i took a lot of classes,
but when i took my classes at International Center of Photography in
NYC, that was when the fire really started to burn. i continue to take
classes and workshops around the country and work with my mentors. i
will never stop learning my craft. you know you are passionate about
something when it's all you think about. it fills my every thought.
that is how i feel about photography.

describe your family

i've been married to Brad for 8 years. we have five-year-old
boy/girl twins. we have a crazy house that's full of life - in a lot of ways. no matter how crazy things can get, there is a lot of love in the house. i am blessed every day.

if i could photograph any person, dead or alive, it would be....
my grandfather, linwood seeley. he died when i was two. he was only
52. i never got a chance to know him, but i know how much my dad loved
and adored him. and to photograph the love between my dad and his dad
would have been priceless.

the best pizza on the planet is....
patsy's pizza in spanish harlem in NYC - 118th street & 1st avenue.

my favorite girl scout cookie is.....
is there one??? all right. if i must choose one, it would be thin mints.

my favorite TV show at the moment....
Real Housewives of NYC or Orange County. what a train wreck!! love it!

i love.....
being in maine at the lake, going for a run, the movies, the sweet
sound of our kids playing (when they're not fighting), the smell of my
mom's apple pie (and eating it!), cotton candy and my girlfriends.

i can't wait to learn more about you and your family and capture some of your favorite memories through photography.

the rain in the northeast has been a killer!! we kept looking for a break in the rain. we finally decided that this would be the day. they “look” as if it is about 80 degrees out but it was cold! they were troopers.

they are such a beautiful family and good people. i’ve known the family since our move to the ‘burbs. our children were in preschool together. cute, sweet kids but they can’t help it, look at the parents!!!

(this mom and her friend have designed the coolest shirt – when they are ready for orders, i will be blogging about it – i have one! awesome!!!)

i hope you enjoy your sneak peak – i will have your images to you shortly. you guys are the best!
