About Me

Hello.  I am a stay-at-home Mom of 2 (girl-7 and boy-5) who lives in Surprise, AZ.  My two favorite hobbies right now are gardening and photography, so I've merged the two!  I have certified my backyard as a "Backyard Wildlife Habitat" through the National Wildlife Federation to make it an ideal site for local wildlife.  I love the challenge of getting pictures of nature (i.e. bugs, flowers, birds).  It helps relax me a bit after running around after my 5 year old all day!!  Lucky for me, my husband bought me a very nice camera which takes some pretty darn good pictures.  I also love my trusty tri-pod!  Of course, I also enjoy taking pictures of my children.

Hope you enjoy some of my photos.
