What my friends and family would say:

I think my friends and family would describe me as someone who is goofy, always tries to make sure everyone feels included, and is very kind. They would say I'm very adventurous, that I'm too obsessed with snowboarding and playing Catan because I ask them to join me every week, and that I love helping others (I also work part time as a physical therapist at my local hospital and use my photography to frequently raise money for causes in my community). They'd probably also warn you - I'm a little ADHD and get distracted at times in sessions, but I like to think it's my creative juices flowin' and coming up with the coolest shots!

My husband would say I take on way too many volunteer projects, but he supports me endlessly and we love him for that (he's even became my primary second shooter when he's available!).  Last year I was able to use the profits from my Christmas photoshoots to run a holiday Bingo for Mary Free Bed patients that spent Christmas at Munson Medical Center, did a volunteer photoshoot at Pets Supplies Plus to raise money for Hoops Pet Food Pantry, and was able to volunteer as a photographer for the Special Olympics of Michigan. I hope to repeat it all again this year!
