    Tell us a little about yourself.  I have bright red hair, green eyes, used to be 5'6" before all the babies, adore my husband, and am an early morning person. My alarm rings at 3:30 am for my quiet time, then I write, sew, paint, or plan school!

    What was your motivation behind this project?  Photography came as a result of my taking too many bad shots! Wanting the children to be better with the camera, Mark (my husband) and I joined to teach them basics, fun, new technology, composition and so much more.

    What do you hope folks will gain from this project?  I hope we've done most of the work for you, and you can relax and enjoy learning with the children. I hope the children learn to love taking pictures, planning them, and an artistic approach to photography.

    Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists?  I love Tasha Tudor and her lifestyle. I like unit studies because the children remember what they learned so much better and longer.

    Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know:  I hold a Bachelor of Science. Along with my husband Mark, I homeschooled our 8 children on our “Gentleman’s Farm” in south Florida. Now we reside in Georgia. We began homeschooling around 1984 and have used a variety of teaching styles to teach the various subjects. Latching onto unit studies aided with teaching our multi-age group of children, and helped the children grasp and master the topics.
