My favorite color is purple.  I like it so much that I decided to paint half of my house purple.  The back half.  The front and sides are a nice olive green so my neighbors would not be upset with a purple house on their street.

It is said that purple represents passion.  I am a true believer that we all must possess passion in our lives.  Without it we not only become bored, but we become boring.

Photography and Rock Climbing are my two main passions.  One supports the other on many different levels.  One is my life and the other my vent.  

I have a dog named Duck whom I love very, very, very much.  He is my protector and best bud who follows me everywhere.  He found me in the year 2000 and just seemed to stick around.  I guess he knew that he found someone who needed him just as badly as he needed to be loved.  He's 15 now and still going strong.  It must be the hiking and climbing!

The Duck has a cat named Oliver! with an exclamation mark at the end.  This is because he would get into so much trouble as a kitten Oliver! is the only way we ever pronounced his name....and Oliver! is the only thing he responds to.

Oliver! has a dog named Martin that the Duck picked up in Pikeville, Kentucky.  I suppose he wanted to bring Oliver! home a souvenir from our spring road trip in April of 2009.  To put it bluntly, Martin is a lemon.  But I still fix him when he's broken because I sorta have fallen in love with the little guy.

Other things you might find amusing (because I love to amuse)...I have 4 motorized vehicles.  A van I bought for a $170, two scooters, and a normal grown up car.  The van is neon green on the top half and taxi yellow on the bottom.  Yep, it is a retired taxi van.  During the summer I ride my scooter almost everywhere except when the Duck is with me.  I wish I could train him to ride in the front basket.  

I mostly hang out in a coffee shop in Clifton even though I really don't drink coffee.

In short, I'm just a gal who is trying to make it through this life as best I can with a lot of laughter and beautiful sunsets.

Thanks for visiting my website.  Please stay awhile and hopefully my photos will move you to gigglement and maybe then you will understand why laughter is so important to me.

Kids and their rooms.

My favorite “studio” is actually the childs room.  It is there where they are most comfortable and where they have the most “bragging” rights.  The kids love to show me their toys and special space.

super cute!

beautiful Nova!!!

One year ago I watched and photographed as Nova came into this world.  She was born natural and her parents did not know her sex.  It was an amazing thing to witness…the pain and the surprise.

Jackson!

to be six again!

If I were six again, I’d catch more fireflies.

I’d run through the yard barefoot just one more time.

I’d kiss my Dad and tell him that I loved him six times a day.

I’d wear the clothes my mother dressed me into without complaint.

I’d drink all my milk.

I’d play fetch with my dog, Stranger, all day long.

I’d lay in the sun and dream more dreams.

I’d look for more four leaf clovers and make my wishes more about love and life rather than ice cream and chocolate.

I’d be nicer to my little brother and not be so short tempered with him.

I’d love more.

I’d dare to live more.

Love this family!

This family has always been so easy to photograph!  I think if I ever have children I’m going to ask Melody how to raise them!

Beautiful little girl!!!
