Born and raised in Southern California, Debbie now makes her home in the beautiful northern California city of Willits.
"I have an intense love of the outdoors and wildlife and have enjoyed a passion for photography all my life.
"I dedicate any success in-focus-photos might enjoy to my parents, two wonderful people that I simply could not love or miss more. . . and my greatest blessings — my two beautiful daughters.

"5% of all In Focus Photos profits will be lovingly donated to the fight against breast cancer and to breast cancer awareness."
Below is a poem written by Debbie in 2005:
WHAT’S THE MOST ASKED QUESTION
IN THE WORLD TODAY?
MAYBE IT’S - HOW OLD ARE YOU?
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS MOST WOULD SAY...
COULD IT BE - WHAT IS YOUR SIGN?
MIGHT YOU BE A VIRGO TOO?
OR - ARE YOU WEARING CONTACTS?
I’VE NEVER SEEN THAT SHADE OF BLUE...
I LIKE YOUR CAR, IT’S VERY NICE
DID YOU GET A REAL GOOD DEAL?
HAVEN’T I SEEN YOU HERE BEFORE?
OH MY GOODNESS, IS THIS GUY REAL?
***
NOT ONE OF THOSE IS WHAT’S ASKED MOST
THOUGH THEY’RE NOT IN SHORT SUPPLY
THE MOST ASKED QUESTION I BELIEVE
IS THE ALWAYS-ASKED QUESTION "WHY?"
LIKE WHY ARE REALLY GOOD JOBS
IN SUCH AWFUL SHORT SUPPLY?
AND WHY ARE OUR INSURANCE RATES
SO INCREDIBLY SKY HIGH?
WHY IS IT THAT THE CRIME RATE
JUST CONTINUES TO GROW?
AND WHY DOES OUR GOVERNMENT
HIDE THE TRUTH WE ALL SHOULD KNOW?
WHY ARE THE GANGS ALLOWED
TO FRIGHTEN AND TO KILL?
AND WHY DOES WORLD PEACE
SEEM AN ORDER TO TALL TO FILL?
WHY CAN’T EACH ONE OF US
TAKE PRIDE AND SHOW WE CARE
FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL LAND WE LIVE IN
DON’T YOU WANT TO BREATHE CLEAN AIR?
***
BUT OF ALL THE WHY’S WE NEED TO KNOW
THERE’S ONE NO ONE CAN ANSWER
WHY MUST THE WOMEN IN OUR LIVES
CONTINUE TO DIE EACH DAY OF BREAST CANCER
WHAT IF INSTEAD OF BUYING BOMBS
AND SITTING BACK WHILE THE HELPLESS DIE
OUR TAXES WENT TO FUND RESEARCH
***
WE COULD GET RID OF ONE IMPORTANT WHY…
