Pictured with my husband Frank and our BFFs, Lincoln & Wellington - We live in Northeast Ohio.

 

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to draw! In 2008, when Frank & I started our photography business, I set my pencil down and let photography become my only focus. During these unprecedented times, we've made the difficult decision to step away from photography.

 

With more free time than usual, I found myself writing and illustrating a children's book. You can find my book in the menu bar! Writing "Fern" was accidental, but I feel that I've come full circle.

 

Since writing Fern, I've been working on a second book. In addition, Frank and I have created an NFT project, "Legendary Babies." I'm excited to have found a new outlet where we can work together and use our imaginations!

 
   Here are some random facts about my life!
 

1. Frank & I have been married for 18 years - he's the best.
    

2. Lincoln is a Newdle, and Wellington is a Sheepadoodle. They are the hairiest children in our neighborhood, and we love them endlessly.
    

3. I struggle with dyslexia and dysgraphia. I didn't have a name for those hurdles until my junior year of high school.
    

4. I sing regularly. It is said that singing relieves stress and I am a big believer. 
    

5. I come from a small, tight-knit family who nurtured both my academic studies and my wild imagination! #Grateful
    

6. I married into a significantly larger family who has learned my quirks and still graciously accepts me. I consider myself very lucky.
