As a mother of two and working as a pediatric nurse, I was living an ordinary life. But all that changed on September 1, 1998 when my 17-year-old son Jeremy died in a car accident. My life was changed forever. From that moment on, the photographs that tell how he lived would be the only way I could see my son again.

My desire is to photograph those who are facing life's challenges; to create memories of the people we love; to celebrate their life.
