Info

I grew up in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of Western North Carolina and now live in the city of Vista in Southern California with my husband Tom and our two Rottweilers, Diamond and Benno. I am a Sr. Financial Consultant/Vice-President with Wells Fargo Investments and have been there since just after graduating college in 1992. Wildlife photography is my passion and I am very fortunate to have many wonderful opportunities to be up close and personal with lots of interesting exotic animals. My very favorite of them all are the regal great cats. I now have my own photography company called "Animal Magnetism Wildlife Photography" and I am the Director of Public Relations, Photographer and Web Designer for Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary in the high desert of Phelan, CA. Forever Wild is a big cat rescue center and we have taken in cats from all over the country to save their lives or protect them from abuse. They have a loving home with us forever once they arrive. We currently have 21 exotic cats that include 9 tigers, 3 black leopards, 2 cougars, a spotted leopard, 3 African Serval cats,a Siberian Lynx and 2 bobcats. Working with these amazing animals has been the most rewarding experience of my life. I also work with Randy Miller's Predators in Action, Wildlife Artist Chris Hoy, The Wildlife Company, the Pet Project Foundation and a brand new wildlife magazine that premieres in October called "The Zoo and Aquarium Visitor". I hope you enjoy my photography!
