Hello! Thanks for your interest in my professional authentic nature photography website as I appreciate your support. Enclosed is some information about my photography experiences and academic background. After becoming a successful English as a Second Language tutor (ESL) and an amateur nature photographer in 1993 during high school, I earned my AA degree from CCBC-Dundalk in elementary education in 2001, my BA degree in American Studies and my ESL Teacher Trainer certification from UMBC in 2008. Fortunately, my ESL students range in age from four to eighty years from everywhere! I am eternally grateful because my students, family, friends, and favorite camp directors enabled me to serve as a second-year AmeriCorps Alum during college, a former AmeriCorps Alumni Chapter Leader, a professional souvenir photographer and basic translator in nine languages at the National Aquarium and three other local venues for sixteen years, a volunteer family photographer for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (in 2010),  an experienced Learning Coach,  and  a School-age Teacher.

​

     My various hobbies include spending time with my family and friends, traveling, showcasing and selling my authentic artwork without Photoshop, volunteering at conferences, and attending concerts. Since 2019, I have been fortunate to monitor my numerous professional photography sales at Kimball Farm as well as Camp Wa-Klo, my favorite childhood camp, as of  the summer of 2024 in Southwestern New Hampshire where my careers were established.  As a self-taught freelance photographer from Maryland, I primarily specialize in foliage, progressive sunsets, lake reflections, weddings, and animal photos at no obligation. Feel free to contact me via this website for more information. Thanks!
