In the spirit of starting a new year, new discovery, and learning new things, I thought today’s post would be a fun way for me to share a little bit more about myself. I’m sure you know already that I’m a Midwest Wedding Photographer living in Wisconsin, documenting the love stories of so many wonderful couples and loving every minute of it. But here’s a few interesting pieces about me and my life that you might not know:
1. I’ve lived in Wisconsin almost my entire life, except when I attended Hallmark Institute of Photography in Massachusetts where I fell deeply in love with traveling, the East Coast, and lobster rolls.
2. If I could, I would adopt every single stray cat possible. It’s my life’s goal to open up a Cat Cafe and help all the cute little fur babies find forever homes, all while enjoying delicious coffee.
3. Classic movies and music hold a special place in my heart. When I had cable, I watched the TCM Channel almost every day. Cary Grant, Gene Kelly (I could watch him dance all day long!), and Gregory Peck are three of my favorite actors.
4. I also LOVE music from the 1930s-1960s. I have had a record player since middle school and I have built up my record collection since then. I now have over 100 records and every morning when I make my coffee, I put one on that matches my mood. Usually it’s something by Billie Holiday, Judy Garland or Elvis.
5. I’m a cryer. Big time. Love stories, Christmas cards, even commercials can make me shed a tear. I’ve cried at every single wedding I have ever photographed too. I like to think my eyes just want to express themselves. (:
6. I live for antiquing and rummaging. Every Friday morning in the summer during rummage sale season, I map out all the sales in my neighborhood and start hunting for treasures. Is it weird that I get such a rush when I find awesome items?!
7. Even though I love music, I am actually tone deaf. For real. But that never stops me from singing along to my favorite songs or jamming out to the musicals I’m watching.
8. Fixer Upper is my favorite show on TV right now. I love their goofy attitudes and AMAZING designs. They inspire me to renovate my new home. And I hope one day I have a marriage as wonderful and beautiful as Chip and Joanna’s!
9. To me, the most peaceful and calming place to be is by the water. Give me a beach and the ocean and I’ll be happy.
10. From an early age, I always knew I wanted to change the world and make it a better place. I did not know how I would (and I still don’t) but I do know I want my time in this world to mean something and I want to make a difference in other people’s lives. I hope my journey with photography will help lead me there.
