I’m a weirdo at heart and a wannabe cryptozoologist in my soul. If starting the conversation is left to this introvert I’ll likely say something awkward (see above). However, I’ll never be able to hold back, surely fumbling over excited sentences, if you mention books, travel, or animals. Speaking of animals, more specifically, cats…If you have one and share their photo with me, we’re friends. That, is how my relationship hierarchy works.
The oxford comma, good chocolate, conversations about secret societies and cryptozoology, imperial stouts, the smell of old books, Boston (the city, not the band), fountain pens, and National Treasure movie marathons, to name a few…
Oh, and don’t let the tattoos fool you. If you take a closer look, you’ll quickly realize I’m sporting portraits of both Edgar Allan Poe and Angela Lansbury, which I feels sums me up quite perfectly.
I use photography and writing as my creative outlets. Both keep a smile on my face and my soul singing.
Sometimes (note : always), when the light is warm and embracing you in its rays I’ll get so excited I start to lose my vocabulary, but that’s a good thing. It means your photos are incredible, so you may want to join me in my excited squeals.
When I’m not documenting your special moments, or meeting my writing deadlines with mere minutes to spare, you will likely find me, coffee and novel in hand, hanging out with my pups, cats, and husband. Well that, or studying… I received a BA with English Hons back in 2011 and with the ever-present support from my biggest cheerleader, my husband, I’ve returned to University once again. I’m currently working toward an MA in English and Cultural Anthropology, busy with multiple trips down to the Amazon to do fieldwork, and hopefully one day, (please keep your fingers crossed for me on this one) an assignment with National Geographic.
