There is a hidden swing in the hills of La Jolla. The view is breathtaking and provides a much needed moment of serenity. 

This is my son with his Christmas present. Taken with natural light through a large window. He forgot I was there and I just kept snapping.

This photo was taken during our trip in España with my husband in September 2018.

This is the road which lead to the Cap de Creus.

My husband and I had a hard time just before the trip, and this photo makes me feel mindfree, it reminds me that we must cherish simple things like a warm wind on our skin or a sea view in good company.
 

Me and my girlfriend at the fair (Salem,VA). 

“Oh there’s no place like home for the holiday”—the best place to start unforgettable holiday memories is at home. Merry Christmas to all!

Not only are we bonded as grandmother and granddaughter, but we also share another connection:

We are cancer survivors.

This Thanksgiving was extra special being able to spend it with my grandma. These last few years we have grown closer than ever.

Even though we are decades apart in age walking through different seasons of life, the joy, hugs, and love remain the same! And I am grateful that we both were able to have this moment captured together! 

I love you grandma!

A mother is everyone’s best friend because she takes care of everything (our)need. Mothers are like a security blanket because she saves from all problems. In this photo( mother & child) they facing each other depicted a sweet relationship

Simple pleasures give most joy and bring a smile to our faces. Be it fall colors, soap bubbles or kids bursting them. And what better place to witness this than in Central Park, New York!

Bonding with his godmother

I made this photo of my son, Evan, and our Walker Coonhound, Sen, on our way to a family vacation in North Carolina. It was shot on Kodak Professional Tri-X.

Just a boy and his bear. The best shots are the unexpected.

Beautiful sunset in LIC NY. Awesome view  from a rooftop.

Follow our adventure exploring the beautiful countries of Peru and Lima! Day one was in Peru’s beautiful capital of Lima.

Beautiful day for a family hike amongst colorful fall leaves and sunshine. These are the days we'll always remember.

This is before we had to put down our 13yo Old English Bulldog named Dumpster. This is my 3yo Luca, saying goodbye.

This photo was taken somewhere in baker city oregon.

Preparing for a Halloween party, my youngest shows her creative side with a little personality coming through.

Celebrating Tommy’s first Birthday!

I took this photo over the summer of my friend Melanie. 

Eat more chicken.. this as so much fun.. they were equally curious about each other.

A day on the beach with my son.

Family is everything, memories are priceless.. this sweet boy ( wearing his grandfathers riding clothes) is blessed with an Angel watching over him.  This photo turned into a priceless moment, a lasting memory. 

We went to the pumpkin patch in search for the perfect pumpkin. And Bayne found it!

Trip to New York to see Sistas!

A happy family during the great day of mam and dad. 

Staying at an RV park in New Mexico, I sat and watched this grandmother blowing bubbles with her grandchildren visiting her trailer... they were there a long time... it was a precious moment.

Styling together for beach day! 

Landon and Jack Hines of St. Louis Missouri head back to school! 

such a fun day

I’ve often been told I don’t smile or laugh as much as I use to. Well today in middle of a memory a laugh and smile was caught on camera perfectly. I’m just glad it didn’t blur out and stayed in focus. It’s the simple things in life that sometimes make us laugh the most. 

Burnt crumbs day out

A weekly tradition of selfies with me and my grandson Seamus! He stole my heart the day he was born! So blessed to be able to spend time with him!

One last look at the Gulf of Mexico at the end of the day on Bradenton Beach, Florida

A day at the museum, seems a bit cliche. But he insisted since it was my first time. I enjoyed every moment of it, walking around and touching the paintings and sculptures like a little curious child. I’d say each moment spent that day felt more magical than it already was.

Jack and Landon Hines of Manchester Missouri share laughter and smiles at their lemonade stand this summer. They are the very best of friends at ages 5&6. 

My granddaughters are always good natured although sometimes they lose patience when I try to take too many photos of them.
