So I am not very good at this sort of thing because I am a very social person who does well with talking, but when it comes to writing I always find myself lost for words. I am a middle school teacher of 20+ years. My love of photography has been a morphing of me wanting to take my own daughters senior photos and finding an outlet for myself. So I practiced taking photos of both my daughters, their friends and family. I started doing some senior, family, couples and boudoir sessions and found I love taking pictures!! I just love seeing the excitement, power and acceptance in a person's face when they see their portraits for the first time. My favorite saying from one of my clients was "I hate you! You make my decision of picking shots for prints so hard." My response was I made no promises of making the process easy for you. So I said to my husband that I would like to start a photography business and here we are today. I love this!
Some other things that I am passionate about is my love for friends and food. I love hanging out with our friends and being a foodie with them. I love introducing people to new foods and exciting ways to prepare that food. I also enjoy planning and organizing, which lends itself very well to running a business. However, above anything else in this world, the thing that I am most passionate about is my family and faith. My husband, Mike, (God love him for putting up with my craziness) and my two girls, Maddie and Kenzi, are my world. All of my decisions of what I do are based on these three individuals. As a family, we always try to find new places to visit and new hobbies to try. We have recently picked up the hobby of kayaking. It's like taking a mini vacation. The other thing that brings our family together and gives us a bit of escape is going trail riding with our two Jeeps (hopefully gas prices go down soon). We call this "trail therapy."
So that is me!!
