My dad re-married when I was 11.  I gained a step sister and step brother (Joy and Blake), who are several years younger. Me, Mark, Blake and Joy (No laughing at my awkward years!)  This marriage too ended in divorce, but not before the birth of my baby sister, Crissy.  My half sister is now married and living in Deltona, Florida. Me and Crissy, May 6, 2006  My father died nearly 10 years ago, he had Multiple Sclerosis. He’s buried in Owego, NY, next to both of my grandparents Grandma & Grandpa Weitsman and my cousin Becky.  This picture of me and my dad was taken  at my wedding the year before he died.
Me & Dad

My mother lives in Deerfield Beach, FL.  On her side, I have my only living grandparent!  My Grandma turned 90 years old in March and we celebrated in the Bahamas! Me and Grandma in Nassau, Bahamas This picture of my mom’s parents was taken in the early 1940’s in New York. Grandma and Grandpa Heilborn  My Grandpa Rudy (a dentist), died when I was 3 years old from a brain tumor.  He was also an avid photographer.  I guess it was in my blood, huh?  My mom remembers him having a dark room down in the basement where he processed his own film.

Moving into the present time...my husband and I met nearly 19 years ago and have been married for 11 years. Our Wedding March 4, 1995  We grew up in the same neighborhood and went to all the same schools.  We started dating right after high school. Our one and only child was born in June 2001.  Kaley is the most precious thing in our lives!  Kaley, Mom & Dad in Sanibel  We also have a dog named L.C.  Our dog L.C. (Little Cow)

Photography takes up most of my free time and my camera goes with me on every outing with my daughter. Mom and Kaley  I’ve included a few “reflections” of me from recent class photo shoots.
