A little about me!

 

​

Hello and welcome! I'm a Rochester, NY native, and a wife to an amazing man, Mike, who I met just 5 short years ago. We have two beautiful daughters, Henley and Kennedy, both of whom can function on a few hours of sleep much better than you'd think was possible. I like to channel my inner student on those sleepless nights soaking up new techniques and tid-bits about photography, while my husband learns new techniques for tying flies. The hubby and I can honestly say that we wouldn't trade a single sleepless night for anything!

​

When I'm not capturing priceless memories for my clients or spending quality time with my beautiful family, you'll likely find me at my 9-5 hustle as a hospital administrator at Strong Memorial Hospital. It's such a rewarding career to be able to make a difference in the lives of patients and improve our health care system every day.

A few more fun facts about me!

​

​

1. My favorite food group is Chocolate.

​

2. I am a serial dieter with varying success. (Please refer to fun fact #1).

​

3. My HR person called me "tenacious" once. I attribute that to my Irish roots as a descendant of the O'Byrne family whose motto was "Certavi et Vici" which means "I have fought and conquered."

​

4. My dream place to visit is Italy. If I ever make it there, I plan to be eating the entire time.

​

5. My life currently revolves around cleaning, making teddy bear lunches, doing laundry, and searching the house for which toy is making that obnoxious noise.

​

6. My retirement plans involve a barn, a winery, a bakery, and a BBQ smoker. 

​

7. My former boss introduced me to my husband. He was the "new accountant" for our department. I was so flustered and caught off guard by his handsomeness that I turned bright red, instantly forgot his name, and I'm 99% sure I didn't even say "hello" back. A couple days later, I got up the courage to walk to his office and told him I couldn't find him on the global email list. I said, 'it's Fischer right?" His response: "No. It's French. Like the language." He proceeded to ask me to escort him to the lunch room because he "couldn't find it." He also couldn't find it every day for the next 6 weeks!
