Personal:
Cameron Craig Taylor and I were married on May 28, 1994 in the historic Wren Chapel at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
We gave birth to a daughter, Amelia Leybold Taylor, on March 2, 2000.
We also have one dog, named Nebraska, and two cats, named Simon and Gadsden.
Hobbies:
Cameron and I have visited and photographed dozens of lighthouses on the eastern seaboard, and plan to continue doing so with Amelia. Nebraska usually comes along as well.
We travel back to Lincoln, NE to visit my family once a year during the summer, and to central FL to visit Cameron’s parents around Christmas. We also frequently travel to the Ottawa, Ontario region, where Cameron is from.
In addition, we enjoy exploring the waterfalls, gorges and hiking trails of the many state parks in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York.
