Fun Fact Friday: Get to Know Your Photographer!

This week’s fun fact? I’m an avid runner—or at least, I used to be! 🏃‍♀️

I've run six half marathons (maybe more... I lost count after a while!) and one full marathon, which I finished in 4 hours and 1 minute—just shy of my 4-hour goal. So close! Even though I don’t run long distances anymore (thanks to three back surgeries), running is still a part of my life and something that brings me a lot of joy.

These days, I keep things a little lighter—just 1 to 2 miles a few times a week, sometimes every day, with my sidekick Dixie, our golden doodle. She is hands down the laziest pup I’ve ever met. After two miles, she is completely wiped out and basically out of commission for the rest of the day.

Running makes me feel happy, grounded, and free. I especially love being outside, soaking up the sunshine. 70° is my sweet spot—give me all the sunshine and I’m a happy girl. Anything under 50°? Tough. Anything over 75°? Hot. But I’ll always take the heat over the cold.

And just to seal my sunshine-loving, heat-chasing ways… as a kid, I used to love sitting in a hot car. Weird? Maybe. But to this day, I still kind of enjoy it!

So, if you’re ever wondering who’s behind the camera capturing your family’s moments—I’m probably someone who’s already been outside for a little run with a very tired doodle, soaking in the sunshine and loving every warm second of it.

I'd love to see you this year for a session!
