What got me interested in photography? Good question, I think it was the simplicity of taking moments we witness & compressing them into something we will have for a lifetime and can pass on & look back at with a story. 

I am a 26-year-old, 5'9", farmgirl with two different color eyes and am firm believer that like a picture we only become more valuable with time. Our edges grow rougher, we may wrinkle, but we will always have a good story to tell. In my 26 years of life, I have lived on a ranch, riding horses & roping cattle. Cattle & horses were my first passion growing up near Florence, South Dakota. Now, combine either of those with a camera & you have one happy girl. 

During high school I found a niche for photography and after graduating, in 2014, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. For two years after high school I was a country girl living the city life while studying Media Design Technology (Graphic Design). In 2016, I graduated from Southeast Technical Institute with my AAS degree. From then on I have ben taking on sessions while juggling jobs on the farm in-between.

Every part of me believes that God gave me this gift. He gave me the eye to capture & create something beautiful for everyone to enjoy. Photography has blessed me in SO many ways & allowed me to meet some of the most AMAZING people. Everything about this job truly makes my soul happy! 

I can’t thank you enough for stopping by my site and getting to know me. If you have any other questions or just want to chat shoot me a message or email me at photoek@live.com. In the meantime, I will continue to chase my dreams & cattle, most likely with a camera in hand!
