The thing is, sometimes I don't really have a lot to say. I'm a design nerd and a photographer, but I really like to think I'm a rockstar.

I can talk for hours if you want to ask me about which lens you should buy for some certain lighting condition, but I rarely know what to say about myself. I am a girl who really wants to be a big kid someday, but I still don't understand a whole lot of things. I am confused by the internet. No matter how lame your idea is, there's someone to validate you on the internet. Here, there are people to love you and tell you you're heading for amazing heights with your jump to conclusions mat.

The last time I updated this profile, I was six months away from getting married. Now we are, in fact, happily married. Please don't ask us when the little ones are on the way. The only pitter-patter we're interested in right now is the feet of our psychotic cat.

I used to lie to people on airplanes. My best friend Nathan tells me that's one of the more interesting things about me. One day I would be a photographer for National Geographic, the next I'd be coming to the city to get some relief because Miami's just too fake. Once I started working at my current job, I stopped lying to people, because I find what I do to actually be awesome enough to tell people about.

I'm old enough to look at things rationally, but I'm still young enough to do stupid, impulsive things sometimes. If that's what being an adult is, give me my membership card.
