Photography, first and foremost. Also charity work; my two favorites are Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep and the Make a Wish Foundation, which are both amazing organizations. I get so much more back from volunteering than I can ever give. In my spare time (haha!) I love wine tasting, reading, and anything art-related. I'm really fascinated by art and inspiration, it's so revealing about who we are. I've also recently discovered pilates and yoga. Wow-talk about much-needed stress relief!
Music
Pretty much everything, although the music I listen to changes with the seasons...right now with the cold weather I'm listening to a lot of Carla Bruni, Sara Bareilles, Jack Johnson, and other mellow, acoustic artists. But come summer, I'm sure I'll be rockin' out again.
Movies
I'm a sucker for stories about flawed people...because we all are:
I love to read; the most recent books I've read are The Alchemist, Loving Frank, Secret Life of Bees, Twilight & Eclipse(don't quite get all the hype on that series), Beneath a Marble Sky, The Universe in a Single Atom, and The Five People You Meet in Heaven. I'm addicted to Austen & the Brontes as well...my copies of all their books are very well used. I just finished The Universe in a Single Atom by the Dahli Lama, and it was a very interesting book; incredibly thought-provoking...
Heroes
Whoever is adventurous enough to do a Trash the Dress session with me! Come on, you know you want to...
About me: I like to keep busy! I have a full time job in accounting, owner of Chappelle Photography, I am an area coordinator and affiliated photographer for NILMDTS, and a single mom of two amazing little boys. That doesn't leave me with much spare time, but I'm doing exactly what I love to do, and couldn't be happier!

Who I'd like to meet: People. I love people, the way we are all different, the way we are all the same. We all have our silly quirks, habits, & flaws, but I find it all fascinating...so now you know one of my quirks...
i tried to call you last night, but you were obviously too busy to take my call =( just kidding, i'm starting to think its about time to plan a trip for the summer....i was thinking Washington, what do you think?? love you!! Miss
Oh ya, when u come into town next my co-worker wants to pay you to take some pics of her dog. No, that's not a typo, a dog. Her name is Willow and she is a white and brown cocker with huge beautiful blue eyes
I understand if you can't. We're already adjusting plans a bit because my friend from Utah probably won't be able to make it either. We're still going out and partyin' it up though, and it'd be awesome if you were there! Let me know when you do!
We're doing great, just extremely busy as always. Isaiah does karate twice a week, and we're both working a lot. Not to mention we're going to our honeymoon spa for valentine's weekend, coming back planning Isaiah's birthday, then my birthday, then our anniversary! Things are hectic but we're enjoying every minute of it!
i wish i was there with you too, but i would probably spend tooooo much money =) i'm thinking that the family needs to take a vacation where we just spend a week traveling up the coast, stopping to take pictures and staying where ever along the way, ending up at your place..... we shall see, but doesnt it sound nice? love you, miss
Hi Girl! How are you and the boys? Hope your New Year is going well.... I'll be sending you some picks soon of Iraq and lovely Ft. Sill OK. Tell everyone at work I say hi!
