Things About Me

I’m a twin & I have twin boys

I guess twins DO run in our family. I have a twin brother (that’s us above, me on the right). And no joke, he is a professional snowboarder. Ranked top in the world and named the nicest guy in snowboarding. So that’s pretty cool.

My guys are Andy & Eddie, they are too amazing for words! Follow along with the #AdventuresOfAndyAndEddie

 

I’m happy outdoors

I’ve grown up with all sorts of outdoor sports (caving, rafting, kayaking, hiking). The best paychecks I ever received were guiding for CrabApple Whitewater.

I made the decision to go to photography school while on a month long backpacking trip in Costa Rica when I was 21 and in 2014 as a last hurrah before babies, I trekked through Nepal for three weeks. Made it to Everest Base Camp at 17,500ft. Those two big adventures were pivotal in shaping who I am today.

 

Podcasts, Dog Walks & Boxing

When I’m not shooting or off on new adventures with my boys, I’m probably out with my dog, boxing or listening to podcasts:

Chloe is my number one girl and you can often find us out in the woods before I head off to shoot weddings.

Boxing has become of my favorite activities! Good workout and some stress relief 😀

My Podcast Feed includes: The Daily, Planet Money, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, Lovett or Leave It, How I Built This, Crime Writers On, Criminal, etc…. Oh My Goodness soooo many!! It makes all the time I spend in my car tolerable!

 

“Make it Work!”

I’ve been a Tim Gunn and Project Runway fan since the beginning!! Every shoot I take on has its “Make it Work” moments. Ask me about the time I was asked to photograph him at a runway show but sadly I was already booked with another client. Sigh.

 

The Golden Rule

“Treat others as you would like to be treated.” It’s simple and this principle guides every decision I make, both in my professional and personal life.

 

I’m Painfully Punctual

Maybe my best and worst habit. I need to be early for everything.

• If you’re early, you’re on time
• If you’re on time, you’re late
• If you’re late, don’t bother showing up

 

I’m a Mac

I’m pretty sure I have my hands on an apple device within a few minutes of being awake. I’m usually checking the first round of emails from under the covers. Between the phone, ipad, laptop and desktop, this business runs on Apple.
