Happy New Year Everyone!
It's been a while since I have introduced myself on here, and we have gained a lot of new followers this past year, so it is definitely due!
-I was born & raised in Casey, IL. I went to college in Iowa where I competed on a collegiate rodeo team. My husband, Kendal and I lived near Farina, IL for 7ish year before we moved back to Casey. We are high school sweethearts. We started dating my freshmen year, and our 10 year wedding anniversary is coming up this summer.
-We have 2 kiddos - Kaydee & Cole. We also have 2 dogs, a cat, and 6 horses with a baby horse due this spring 🤞
-I am the President of a non-profit equine club in Casey where we host barrel racing & pole bending events, and my daughter & I also compete in them. We help with many other local clubs in the area. Our barrel racing community is more like a family and we absolutely love it 🥰
-In our spare weekends (HA like those exist!?) we love to take our travel trailer and going camping for a slower pace. So bonus - If you have a favorite campground - drop it in the comments!! We love going to new campgrounds each year. We try to take our camper out for vacation for 1-2 weeks every year! One year we road tripped to Niagara Falls (stayed in Canada), Vermont, NYC, PA, and back home! 70 hours in 10 days with a 2 year old, 2 dogs, and our camper. We loved it!
-We are big Disney fans 🤣 We have went every year since our daughter was born. We LOVE the campground at Disney and we are counting down until our next trip. 🎃
-The horse you see in my picture - her name is Lizzie. She is 25 this year and she was born & raised in our family. My late grandpa raised her, I have been riding her since she was about 4ish. Our daughter took Lizzie from me last year and is 4th generation to ride this horse and they have such a great bond!
-I love photographing all of your fur babies - so don’t hesitate to bring them along! Just let me know prior your session 🙂
-Also - let this be a sign to book those sessions with your heart horses while you can! ;)
So now that you have met me, I cannot wait to meet you and be here for all of your photography needs! 🫶
