One of the goals I set for myself was to quit hoarding my photography, and let people see more of what I do. I had to be okay that some people will not like what I do, I had to be okay with what I do. The only person that matters is me. I know some people are going to be extra judgy, and that is okay. But I am learning to deal with that. So with Covid-19 and the pandemic that kind of made it difficult to go out and take photos like I used to. That meant to keep my creative juices flowing, I have been going into the archives and editing the ones I have taken in years past. During this time I learned of 2 photo contests. I thought why not enter, all they can say is no. At least I can give it a good college try. The first contest I entered I had to do a video talking about myself, my photography and enter about 13 photos. That was rough, I hate talking about myself like that, but I pushed through it. The second contest made me have a storyline that had to enter. I have never thought about something like that before and I thought why not enter. I would be mad at myself if I didn't do it. So while driving around one day, I had a light bulb go off in my head, and from there my "Love Wins" concept came about. I thought I share what photos I entered. I thought about as a woman all of all of the things we love in life, sometimes conventional and sometimes not. I hope you enjoy this collection. I am for sure going to be expanding this collection, I enjoyed it so much. THANK YOU to all my models. You all said yes without hesitation, even when it sounded crazy when I was describing what I had planned. Please enjoy " Love Wins"

Today is World Photography Day. This is one of my favorite photos I have taken over the years. It is this random place I saw driving from one of my road trips. I do want to say that photography to me is one of the best ways to relax my mind and to not think about all the problems going on in the world. This is my zen. If you haven't found your zen, I pray one day you do.

One of my favorite parts of summer are the sunsets. Does it get any better than this?
