My passport photo – self portrait
Pets: Orange Tabby Cat - Mr. Timmy, West Highland White Terrier - Meghan
Profession: self-employed Internet Marketer, Webmaster, Database Programmer, Web Designer and occasional event & portrait photographer
Favorite childhood memory: 10 years old - taking pictures at the 1964 NY World’s Fair with my Brownie Starmite Camera
Prized Possession: my sapphire and diamond engagement ring from my husband Brinck
I’ve never been able to: stay thin
I’d give anything to have met: my great-grandfather – he was a Governor in the Phillipine Islands in the early 1900’s
Major personal accomplishments: self-financing my entire college education; raising 3 kids as a single mother; starting my web business in 1996 and being self-employed for 13 years; finding my husband on Match.com
Three words that best describe me: direct, friendly, tenacious
My personal goals are: to really learn & remember how to adjust the settings on my Nikon SB900 flash. One of these days I’ll read the manual.
My Camera: Nikon D700, D300 and D50
Year that I joined NHCC: 2009
I am also a member of (other photo clubs): Milford Camera Club

Favorite Photography Subject matter: babies
Favorite photography trip: It’s a tie - Ireland 2008 & 2009 and one week at Venice School of Photography in Italy with Joe McNally – June 2009
The best part of being a photographer is: making people happy with the pictures I take
I became interested in photography when… my grandfather took my picture as a 5 year old with his Polaroid Land Camera – I was fascinated!
My advice to other photographers is: Shoot. A Lot. Never stop learning. Study with good teachers. Challenge yourself.
What is something about you that NHCC members do not know? Probably a lot. I’m new here!
