I am a stay-at-home mom/professional photographer from southern Wisconsin.

Creativity and art are my two favorite things. I love photography, painting, sewing, crafts of all kinds, and I live by the motto "Why spend money when you can make it yourself?"

I married my best friend in September 2010, and we have a 4-year old girl named Josie and our little boy Jonah will be 1 in January.

I love to sew and crochet.

I love to paint (generally, on canvas with acrylics, but I will paint on pretty much anything if inspiration strikes).

I love to photograph.

I love crafting for my kids. Hats, bibs, clothes, toys, accessories... anything.

I love to do pretty much any crafty thing imaginable.

My all-time favorite is argyle, though I am growing quite fond of polka dots and plain old stripes.

My favorite colors are seafoam/mint, black, white and grey. I love the combo of red & aqua.

I do not care for much pink at all. I use it and enjoy it VERY sparingly. I own exactly zero items of clothing containing pink.

My kids share a room, but they have distinctly different themes on each side of the room. My daughter's side is colorful and bright, and full of birds and trees. Her favorite color is purple. My son's side has lots of blues and aquas with a hint of red, and whales and ships.
