I am a photographer (stephanieizzo.com) now studying psych (4 courses left and will have my BA in psych and my BS in Behavioral Health Science) - also, mother to an 11 year old. Most of my customers are in NY but my son goes to school in RI so we are often back and forth between Rhode Island and NY.

"Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it..."
