In 2013, I fell into a deep depression. I could not function. I was willing to walk the shores of beautiful Lake Pend Oreille 3 miles most days. I started taking landscape pictures with my cell phone. I discovered I have a gift. The only way I was willing to connect with others at the time was through Facebook, so I started posting pictures of my daily walk. I started getting attention as my skills developed through practice.

The depression eventually passed, but it gave me one of my greatest gifts of discovering beauty in the mundane. I bought a camera. I started taking photographs of people, this is my true passion. 

I immensely enjoy the beauty that surrounds me. So I shoot stunning landscape too.
