About Me
I was born and raised in Evanston, IL along with my 11 brothers and sisters. And....I am a triplet! Although Wisconsin was always our destination for family vacations while growing up, it wasn't until 33 years ago when my parents bought a home in Ellison Bay, that I began to visit Door County. It didn't take long before I fell in love with this special place. I now look forward to every return to my own residence in Ellison Bay with my family and friends. Door County is one of my favorite places to be, no matter what time of year it is, and I find joy in sharing it... through my eyes, with you.
My other favorite place to be is the Chicago Botanic Garden. I can go there once a week and no two visits are ever the same. The gardens and landscapes are constantly changing, and I have found there is beauty in every season.
Growing up in suburban Chicago, I've also included a few of my favorite Windy City photographs.
Here on my website, I present you with images that I've tried to capture in a way that makes you feel the same excitement I felt when I first saw these sights myself.
Enjoy!
