On February 13, 2000, I started my walk in the Word of the Lord.  Becoming a Christian changed my life in ways I never knew possible.  Such a wonderful peace with myself and all that my life has had and does have to offer became so apparent.  I saw things in a new light and realized that everything has it's purpose and place.  Even through tough times, I knew God was with me helping me make it through.  It's what He does for us.  At the time, I was unable to attend church, but had the encouragement and wisdom of my best friend to rely on.  As she has witnessed to me, I prayed that I would someday be able to witness to others.  On July 15, 2001 I attending my first church service.  No one knew me, I was living in a new place and it was the hardest thing I ever did.  I wasn't used to doing new things like that on my own, but God helped me get there.  He brought two wonderful people into my life, who from day one helped me feel welcomed and comfortable in an unfamiliar place.  I've since been attending and was married in that church on November 2, 2002.  Nicolas Robert, my first son, was born on or around September 8, 2004.
I love the Lord and thank Him for all that He does in my life, therefore, I'm placing this here for all to see . Yes I do love Jesus. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things. Philippians 4:13

Being a mom was something I felt I was born to do.  I had dreams of having a house with the white picket fence, a black lab and 2 or 3 children running around the yard.  The fence is actually a stone wall and we don't have a dog, but we do have two amazing boys.  Nicolas and Logan, the true loves of my life.  I couldn't be more blessed.  I love being a stay-at-home-mom to them watching their every milestone come to life before my eyes.  I look forward to watching them grow into the amazing people God plans for them to be.

Photography has always been something I've enjoyed.  Although I always thought of it as a hobby and a great way to keep old memories, I've always been told I have a talent in this area.  Even when I started out with a Fisher Price camera!  It never occurred to me to think about making it a career.  I always lacked time and money to further my education, but I made it and I am now a professional photographer.  My dream of becoming a photographer came late, but, I'm so very thankful that I have the opportunity. 

Manatees were introduced to me when I was 10 years old.  My grandparents had been living in Florida and decided that a manatee "adoption" would make a great Christmas gift for me.  They were right! I've since followed their cause and continue to try and help with awareness of these gentle giants.  I have a great passion for all animals, so be sure to take a look at Arti's Perch when you get the chance!  Arti passed away October 12, 2003, but she will never be forgotten!

My interest in web design began in August of 1999.  I started on WebTV and learned all the basic HTML codes online and created my first basic webpage.  I loved it!  My creativity soared!  I now work alongside my husband in our computer business as a web designer and consultant.

I grew up on Cape Cod, Massachusetts and lived there for 22 years.  I now reside in Greenwood Lake, NY.  This story can be read in "Our Wedding"  I enjoy what I do and my surroundings and look forward to what life has in store for me next!
