I've been a professional photographer since 2006, and after all these years I still genuinely love what I do.
I'm easy-going and a bit of a quiet soul. I tend to take things in, watch what's happening around me and let people be themselves. I'm not one to make a lot of fuss, and that's pretty much how I approach my photography too.
When I'm not working on photos, you'll usually find me outside. My husband Greg and I run cattle on our property, and given the choice, I'd much rather be outside working than doing almost anything else. We have three grown-up kids who have all moved away from home, but they still keep us plenty busy, and we love getting to be part of wherever life is taking them.
I grew up on a cattle property and professionally trained horses for a number of years, so this way of life is nothing new to me. Horses don't concern me. Neither do cattle, dust, dirt roads or opening a few gates to get where we're going. A paddock doesn't look like an inconvenient location, and a long drive is just part of living out here.

Our time in the United States was for Greg's bull riding career. Not the most orthodox path, but it was an experience we will always treasure!

My husband, Greg, and I first went to the United States in 1997. Fourteen years and three kids later, it was time to come home. We have put everything into our home, "Valdemar."

Horses have always been a part of my life. I continue to show and train Quarter Horses and have passed this passion on to my kids.
