Ya know those girls in school who were absolutely 100% horse crazy? They talked about nothing else and more than once, it probably got pretty annoying? Yeah, that was totally me. Maybe it's because growing up in a small town in Wisconsin, there's just not a lot to do, but I spent every moment I could with horses. From lessons to leasing to owning and showing, I did it all. Early mornings at shows? Yup. Endless hours mucking stalls? Been there. Cross country road trips for Congress or the Reichert? I'm a master at sleeping in cars. 

Unfortunately, I had to sell my beloved POA gelding, Skyiler, when I moved to Nashville for college (don't be sad- he's now getting spoiled rotten by three adorable little girls!). While being away from horses wasn't fun by any means, it gave me time to discover my passion for photography and videography. Now, I have the coolest job in the world because I get to combine the two.
