Military wife and mother of four. Our military service has taken us across the country, giving my family a chance to stretch and grow as we learn about ourselves in new homes. I love the beach. I love Mexican food, and all tacos, coast to coast, are not created equal. Moving is a wonderful way to explore new areas, meet unique people and discover the beauty, both obvious and hidden, in every place and face. I have lived in Utah, Nevada, California, Maryland, North Carolina, Japan and currently make a home in Chicago, Illinois. I love to read, travel and of course photograph.
