Hello!  I am a children's author and photographer. I am the mother of the two best kids in the world.  I live with my husband, kids, and dogs in Minnesota.

Writing

Photos

The power of words is humbling.  To bring joy, laughter or sorrow with a string of letters amazes me.  It makes me aware of my desire to put good words into the world.  Currently I am working on several picture books.  Picture books may be short in words,  but they are long in joy, magic and importance.

Nature is breathtaking. From the smallest slug to a magnificent sunset, beauty can be found all around us.  I try to capture that beauty in my photos.  If you'd like to see them, please visit my Etsy shop, GoOutsidePhotography.

Here I am super pumped to be on a boat.  This was a few years ago in Mexico.  As the one usually behind the camera, it is hard to find a decent picture of me.  So there you have it; pumped on a boat drinking Coke.

I finally took some head-shots. I am lucky enough to  have a wooded back yard, a decent camera, and a patient, impromptu photographer/ husband.
