This is my family.  My sweet, crazy, happy, now retired military family.  I am a mama to two boys: Aiden 14 and Nathan 11.  Both sweet and rowdy, otherwise completely opposite.  They keep me going... usually in two different directions.  My husband Troy and I have been married for 16 years, friends since high school.  We had - moving back and forth, home is where you are together, no roots life - down just in time for him to retire.  We are so happy to be back to family and the Pacific Northwest.  We sure do love the beauty of home.  

As soon as I received my first point and shoot camera it did not leave my hands.  My parents took me to buy my first SLR film camera, I took some college courses and was hooked on the art of photography.  I consider myself an Artist: studying, learning and growing - always.  The world of digital photography is ever evolving and I am always looking for something new to learn. 

Lainee is my family nickname. From Lainee my nieces caught just the "E". In all ways I cherish this name from my closest peeps. My grandma gave the varied Lainee Be, not bee like buzz so my mom suggested the spelling of Be. Since she did it has given me a laugh and direction (gifts she always gives me in my time of question and growth). I've laughed at the thought of how this may have originated when I was little (only from my own now mommy experiences) that it may have come from: "Lainee!...be still". "Lainee!...be kind" "Lainee - be you" = Lainee...Be. It rings a new tone and direction in my adult life -My parents instill by example or their encouragement: Lainee be brave, Lainee be patient, Lainee be you = Lainee Be. I love this as my business name, I only want to be- me and know that God will make amazing things happen when I do just that.
