Randoms facts about your photographer

Random things about your photographer - Get to know me

Todays blog post is all about me.  Kinda weird right, well no.  I decided that we have so very many new people in both of our private groups as well as on the page that I should do a little " random things about me" post.

Alot of you have no idea who I am, what we do out here in the middle of no where and where our studio is !  I hope I get to meet you all one day !

​

Above featured here are a bunch of really random images.  All cell pics naturally as I am always behind the camera and not in front of it.  Here are some things that myself and family.

• My Daugher shows cattle
• She also plays softball and has for a very long time.  We coached for many years
• I am married.  Second marriage to a really awesome rad guy
• We farm.  Shocking I know, but alot of people think the studio's name ( FTP) is just that.  It really stands for Farm Truck Photography.  I also like really big trucks ;)  and have a pretty large F150 that is also my child :)
• We raise beef along with corn, soybeans, hay, sunflowers and more
• We have lots of indoor and outdoor barn cats as well as chickens
• The studio is located on our property, in a building we built in one of our fields.  It is a wonderful change from having to drive into town to the studio I had previously.  The building process though was interesting.
• I photograph Families, boudoir, children, newborns, high school seniors and maternity.  I haven't done events and weddings for quite sometime.  I do not love those genres and choose not to take on that type of work.  I refer those inquiries to other phenomenal photogs in the area.
• The studio stays booked out typically a few months in advance 12 months out of the year and we are ever so thanful for all of our great clients so we stay pretty hopping round here.
• We have a staff of 4 at the studio 
• My favorite colors are green and burgandy
• I used to teach fitness
• We grow acres and acres of sunflowers every year, not just for the studio but they are also a crop !
• I love all things furry and 4 legged
• I have been a photographer for 20+ years.  Full time for about 10.  I do not miss the commute to Indianapolis.
• I grew up in Vermont and moved here in 1995
• I also grew up in foster care
• I have mentored under 5 different photographers over the years and taken countless classes and courses to always keep my skills sharp
• I am not a picky eater.  I will eat just about anything excpet liver and onions
• I love to camp and go boating.  We take several trips a year with our travel trailer.  I often work 7 days a week so this is must for me to shut down and unwind from time to time
• I have stuggled with healthy weight my entire life. it is a daily battle to keep on track and focused, especially with the insane schedules we often keep
• I am a android girl
• My first marriage almost killed me but I rose bigger and better than ever before
• I was a single mother for several years.  Never an easy journey, and I will never forget it
• I love flowers, especially wild flowers.  I garden any chance I get.  We often make fun of my flowers every august because they look like a small childs unruly hair at times.  I have some wildflowers that get a few feet tall
• it is always windy at my house and at the studio.  It is very flat here with little windblocks

I hope this gave you some insight to who I am in the everday that we live. I'm sure your list of random facts is full of things no one else could imagine. Just for fun I challenge to write down 10 of them. What are 10 random facts about who you are?
