Most recently, I want to thank Katy Tartakoff who has been a mentor to me in 2007. Her sensitivity and critical eye have helped hone my photographic skills, and I deeply admire and respect her work.

I credit "The 3 Swift Sisters", a.k.a. my mother, my Aunt Joney, and Aunt Madeleine, for hanging beautiful black & white photos on their walls, many taken by them. For always pointing out to me the quality of light at different times of day, for encouraging me to have my camera with me at all times, and for celebrating the beauty of a dirt-covered child, lost in his or her imaginary world.

Thank you, most of all, to my dear husband, Tim, who is always willing to look at every single picture with me and give me his honest opinion! Plus, his hard work from 9-5 has made this business possible, which is my dream come true.
