about me

Hello, thank you for your interest in my site!

I am a married Christian grandmother who loves to take pictures, write, and design greeting cards.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign provides a wonderful outlet for my love of photography. My father, my son, and I are all alumni of the U of I and I have worked there for over 20 years. In that time, I have photographed many beautiful landmarks and scenes at various angles. Please enjoy my gallery and feel free to drop me a line.

I enjoy nature and wildlife photography as well. My husband and I have a country home that we enjoy even more when our grandchildren come to visit. My husband is busy inventing new ways to use electric vehicles while I stay busy with work, church, friends, family, and grandchildren.

My faith is the central and most important part of my life. John 10:10 is one of my favorite scriptures where Jesus said, “I came that they may have life abundant.” I feel I have been blessed and I would love to share some of my blessings with you.

All of the pictures in my gallery are watermarked. If you would like to purchase a photograph I will email to you an un-watermarked, high resolution image suitable for printing and framing. You may print the photograph or use it on your personal computer, but please do not post it publicly. All stories, poems, photographs, and cards on this site are copyrighted so even if you purchase one you may not use it for commercial purposes.

Thank you for taking your precious time to review my website. If you have any suggestions on how I can serve you better, please let me know by way of my Contact Page.

With much appreciation,

~Darlene
