My boys snorkeling in Jamaica

I believe that empathy makes the world go 'round. And, that time with my loved ones, is always time well spent. Tomorrow is never a guarantee. I feel replenished through traveling & time alone. In complete silence. Maybe on occasion, with a sappy romance movie playing. Possibly while I’m procrastinating, which I like to think leads to creative excellence. Spiders, snakes, and sharks are on my list of “non-excellence,” however. Chocolate, though? Count me in! My facial expressions have a mind of their own. I’m definitely smiling if I’m traveling. Even when the unexpected disrupts a vacation (broken bones, in a foreign country. Yes, this happened!), travel is good for my soul. Especially to a beach--my happy place. In the meantime, singing in my car like a superstar will have to do. If only I could add a hot tub to my car, it would be the best of both worlds. I think that failure makes you successful, so either way, I’m golden. Mmmm, golden toasted tortilla chips, with queso, of course. Definitely with a margarita. Reminds me of the simpler, relaxing days, and nights, of summertime. Sharing those moments with the friends who have become my family, is magical. I believe memories made should be made and documented. When one door closes, another opens. I also believe in being authentically me--blunt, raw, and honest.

I am also a professional photographer and have owned McCaffry Photography going on 10 years now. As a family we travel a lot, we do experiences instead of gifts and have been all over. My travel images started striking a buzz, leading me to assist with vacation planning for others. In January of 2020 I opened Developed Travel. I like to consider it my "sister" business to McCaffry Photography. Since the two businesses go hand in hand, becoming a travel agent was a no-brainer. My only regret is not opening the travel business sooner! 

I like to consider myself a Disney & Universal Studios vacation planning master! I know all the top secret tips and tricks for a magical vacation. My other areas of expertise would be US Domestic Travel, Cruises, Mexico, and the Caribbean. I absolutely LOVE Jamaica. Even after experiencing trauma while on a vacation in Jamaica we still adore the island. I have a serious love for a GOOD beach and good snorkeling! I look forward to working with you and planning unforgettable memories.
