Teri Moy Photography – Photography is my life. It’s what I live and breathe. Every moment is history in the making. If I can capture one moment in time that puts a smile on some one’s face, then I am doing what I was born to do. When I am long gone, I want my children to know who I was – to know who they are – and who they are going to become. I consider it a privilege every time a family, or individual allows me to enter in their personal world and record who they are. Besides my faith, children and family – to me there is no greater joy. www.terimoy.com
