Little did I know I was being led out of darkness …
First Phone Selfie (don’t judge me) September, 2011
… I was documenting Color for a class I was taking
Sac City College, September 19, 2011
… and then the next day was the beginning of the end + but I still saw beauty IN the every day (and discovered that my non – smart phone was a convenient way to document)

November, 2014
I was thank – full and am continually thank- full for my Beloved Parents: They are my Best Friends … TRULY the definition of Unconditional Love: I would not have gotten out of the Depths without them …
I also reconnected with Mi Extended Familia (and started to carry my Camera everywhere): how I missed all of you!
September 26, 2011
My Dearly loved Sadie Girl, My Parading Partner, is also the definition of Unconditional Love: She put the magic back in our Cottage …
And then My Familia grew: Thank YOU my Dearly Loved Sis BFF Gay for being there in the depths + making me an ‘honorary’ Triplett …
… and cultivating a Tradition of being the Family Photographer:
Ash’s Graduation Announcement Photo …
Gaven’s Graduation Photo …
And Lauren Then …
and Now …
Thank You for cleaning the Cottage + Feeding me when I needed it …
And Thank You for the trip to Disneyland …
… Nesting + Creating in My Magic Cottage fed my soul
I reconnected with my Faith …
… And every Fall since then I get this Visitor (no joke)
I discovered my love of Food + Photography: so much so that’s why I went back to school …
And quite fitting: I finally got my Art into an (International) Magazine: Happy that I crossed that off my Bucket List but happy to say Good Bye to the magazine in my life …
It’s been forward movement ever since.
