about

A southern girl by birth, though maybe not so much by definition.  A childhood full of horses, homeschooling, orchards, good cooking, four brothers, three sisters, desert and beach sands.  Much love for San Diego harbors, Arizona skies, Spanish moss, Texas porches, and a bundle of friends and family from here to there … but the siren song of the northwest was too tough to ignore.  Alaska is the place for me.  Here I raise babies, experiment with food and fabric, listen to lots of music, and take entirely too many photographs.

About my photos…

I add a lot of photos to my flickr that I don’t post here. I’m happy to share them if you ask me first.

I use two cameras and two lenses:
a Nikon D70 with an 18-70mm lens
and a Nikon D80 with a 50mm, f/1.8D lens.
Sometimes I interchange the lenses but not often. I really, really love my 50mm, for which I am now experimenting with a macro filter kit. Much fun!

  4. There is so much of your description that would fit in mine. I was born on this island in the middle of the mediterranean sea where the climate is mostly warm or too hot and as much as I love it I am always telling my friends and dreaming that one day I would live in a colder climate far away from here and always tell them I should have been born in Alaska :). I love photography and also take too many photos plus am raising 3 children a 10 year old girl, a 6 year old boy and a 1 year old girl. So pleased to meet you and will be visiting your blog soon, feel free to pop over to my blog. Wish you a happy Sunday :)
