I studied photojournalism at Texas A&M University in the early 90s while working on my bachelor’s in journalism. After graduation I went to work for a few newspapers here in Texas as a reporter, editor and photojournalist. Being a journalist didn’t fit so well with baby-raising, however, so I took a break to be at home with my little ones. When my youngest began walking and pushing away from me, the old photojournalist in me began to yearn to break out.

As a mother of three, I have a passion for children and families, pregnant moms and babies — especially nursing babies. I try to use my experience in photojournalism to capture the warmth and fun in family relationships. I see beauty in everyone and it’s my goal to bring that beauty into print.”
