I do not have a favorite color or food. I don't have many favorites, except for music! I love to pick up a camera and capture images and even if there is not a camera around, I will be photographing in my mind. My son cracks me up. My husband makes me smile. My growing womb makes me hopeful and giddy. I am a woman of many joys and interests. I could have the music going all day long and have wild dreams - realistically wild. I love to chew bubblegum and wished the flavor last a lot longer, I guess I am like Violet Beauregarde. I love to stay in shape, but love treats too. Married life is fun and I hope to laugh everyday together and with our children. I tend to stress about things up front and then begin to relax through the process. An underlying passion of mine is drawing, writing, and creating - though I don't ever do much of it. Smiling and laughter is a form of living for me and I hope that it never drifts out of my life... that would be a terribly sad day.

Kalli Beautiful images! I love New York! Last year my husband took me for my birthday. The best part was it was a “photography trip.” Which meant he couldn’t complain when I kept stopping to take a picture everywhere we went. I had to go back and look at my own memories!

Here was my New York last year:
