I’ve come to love the simpler things in life. After I retired last year, I found myself wondering what I would do in my free time and now I’ve found it. I’ve known Phillip for over 12 years and when he approached me and asked if I would like to join his team, I didn’t hesitate to jump on board. I believe in his vision, purpose, and most importantly him. His Down for Smiles mission became my mission. I want to share in the joy, beauty, and love of these special people. I have a love for helping people more than helping myself and I want to help raise awareness to the Down Syndrome Community.

I work behind the scenes and do everything but take your photos. I happily contribute by assisting, helping, and advising clients on logistical details and any prep needed for an amazing professional photography experience.

On a personal note, I have 2 adult kids, Kristina and Dedric, both whom I love dearly and my four-legged baby Cookie. I enjoy weekend getaways, shopping, traveling, cooking, and a great eating experience. Life is short and if “I can be anything in this world, I’ll be kind.”
