Married a little over two months now. My husband and I have been together now for seven years and we both really enjoy cooking. Not only do I love to cook, but I really enjoy scrapbooking, any craft projects, and photography.
Especially photographing my beautiful neice, Samantha!

I've recently been working in the dark room developing black and whites and I have grown to truly appreciate the process and the art involved in it.
