I grew up in Ohio living on a farm. Animals have my heart because of this. I played softball and basketball in high school but my main sport was rodeo. Rodeo is what led me to Missouri. I went to Missouri Valley College and was on the rodeo team there. It was some of the best years of my life. I learned so many life lessons as well as met my husband! After I graduated, I got my teaching job which is what led me here. I love where I am now. 

My dad is the inspiration behind my photography business. If it wasn't for him I probably would have never picked up a camera. He has been taking pictures for fun for as long as I can remember. He was always the one to take pictures at every rodeo. When I went to college, he sent me with a camera... The rest is history. Now I am just trying to carve my own path yet follow the amazing example he has set for me.
