The face behind the photos

For those who are curious, here's a bit about yours truly. You've seen my work, but here's a bit about me and who I am and what I do when I'm not photographing (which does happen on occasion). 

I live and breathe photography. Seriously I have a dozen or so photo blogs that I follow daily.

I find creative people very inspirational, especially when I see things that are incredibly and I never would have though of but instantly fall in love with.

I'm a Gleek, like hardcore. :)

I am also a Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings geek. Seriously going to cry this weekend at the last HP movie...

I love dancing, especially swing dancing. Matt, my husband, is a fabulous dancer and always manages to make me look good.

I am one of the most loyal people you will ever meet. The friends I have, I keep, no questions.

I absolutely LOVE to travel, anywhere and everywhere. If I could get paid to just travel the world and see the sights, I would do it. If I weren't a photographer, I would be a tour guide.

I have a BA in Fine Arts Photography from Milligan College in Tennessee (Go Buffalos!) and an MSc in History of Art from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

I lived in Scotland for 2 years while Matt and I earned our Masters degrees. Best. Two. Years. Ever. I'm going to have to do a blog post soon about Scotland, so check back. Or, see my previous post about meeting Prince William and Kate. (Also, if you've never been to Scotland, book a trip now. You won't regret it!)

I've been to 13 countries and 3 continents with many plans to visit more (yes, that includes all 7 continents).

One of my life goals is to walk across the country of Andorra. It's only 6 miles across, but that's 6 miles of Alps, so that may be a bit of a challenge...

I have two main claims to fame at the moment: First, I met Prince William and Kate Middleton. (Ask and I'll tell you about it.) Second, I beat up a marine. Yes, me the 5'6" non-confrontational girl beat up a marine. (Disclaimer: I am a second degree black belt this was during a sparring match in a taekwon do class.)

I met my husband Matt while we were studying at Milligan and we've been married for 2.5 years. He asked me out online, but proposed in Disneyland, so he's a keeper. :)

I have moved 23 times in my life including moving back to Indiana from Scotland. I'm going for a record here. Also, if anyone ever needs packing tips, I am a packing guru.

I am a hardcore U2 fan. I love Bono, I love U2's music. I love their charity work. They're ace.

I like experimenting with Polaroid cameras, doing emulsion lifts with the prints.

I regularly quote movies/ tv shows in everyday conversation so keep up! :)

 Yes, even taking photos at my graduation from the University of Edinburgh.

My wedding! I absolutely LOVED my dress! :)

Matt and I! :)
