ABC News has posted a few of my portraits from my art exhibit “Healing: A Photography Project of Families with Children with Special Needs”.

We’ve had such an overwhelming response to the photography project, Healing, that I created. So, we have opened up a couple of more evening showings of the exhibit based on several requests. We will show the project on Saturdays, October 17th and October 24th from 6pm to 9pm. We also just added Wednesday and Thursday, [...]

I started looking for a project to take on so that I could give back to my community, one that would blend the three concepts in my life: family, art and charity. When I found the Stramski Center in Long Beach, California I knew that I had found a perfect match, a project that would resonate with me. The Stramski Center is an amazing clinic of Miller’s Children’s Hospital. They are great healers to many children of special needs and their families.

The Beauty of Nature’s Forms

On Friday, September 4th, I will have yet another photo exhibit on First Fridays in Long Beach on Atlantic Ave., where we’ll have several of my favorite flower [...]

I photograph lots of families. And of course, pets are a part of every growing family. For some reason dogs just love me. Maybe it’s because I’m a giant kid. Maybe because the feeling is mutual.

Join me tomorrow, Monday May 25th at 10am at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Universal City/Hollywood Hills for the Memorial Day Program.
Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills is located at:
6300 Forest Lawn Drive

I have been asked to display my military photo project during the program and I am honored to do so. I am [...]

The children who’ve stood in front of my camera have conditions including autism, Asperbeger’s syndrome, high risk infant development delay, craniofacial deformity and attention deficit disorder. I was simply blown away by the strength, determination, courage and love that these families share. Listening to their stories moved me in a way that is hard to describe, especially as a mother of three healthy children.

The great fun about this contest is that it’s a popular online vote – no judges. So you too could help decide who I’m going to photograph, voting goes until November 7th at midnight. The winner will be crowned at the “Morry’s 70th Anniversary Soiree” on November 9th to benefit our local Historical Society of Long Beach. Yes, that’s right, Morry’s is a local wine store and wine and cheese bar that has been here in Long Beach for 70 years.
