How are you doing?

With ALL that is going in the past two weeks, I want to share a piece of my heart with you. 

Black Lives Matter
 

BLM touches a special chord in my life. Yes, I believe racism is real and I do not want to stay silent about that. It is true I am a white momma raising a child of color in a white America. Personally, my journey as an artist into young adulthood was greatly shaped by my experiences learning and living in predominantly African American communities in Baltimore and New York. It can uncomfortable to be a minority in any situation and to grow we must become uncomfortable. I would not be the person I am, the artist I am, without the community and friendships I have lived through fellow Americans who happen to have a skin color different than mine but whose hearts I connected with so deeply. We are all connected. Sadly some of us never get to experience that to know, and some of us we can forget that if we live our lives in isolation never getting uncomfortable.
In this time of growth and needed change and awareness, I want to just remind us all that growth as a whole is uncomfortable. Yet the time is here.


If you know me, you know I love children. I see the children as our future, our path to a brighter future. The more we pour into them, the brighter their future can look. Meet a few of these beautiful children I have photographed recently.
