After living there for five years as a twenty-something with a photography hobby, my friend asked me to photograph her wedding day as she married a Swiss man that she had fallen in love with. That was twenty years ago and, as one might say, the rest is history.
Of all the things I've accomplished and produced in life, nothing will ever hold a candle to the joy that is raising my children. They are the light of my life, and being their mother is the most fun I've ever had.
It all started at 15 years old on a missions trip to Guatemala. Since then, I've become a student of culture and language. Stepping off one plane means me fiending for the next adventure. Favorites: Egypt, Iceland, Greece, Laos, France. Bucket list: Morocco, Japan, South Africa, Bali.
That little country stole my heart 20 years ago and has given me no hope of ever returning it back to me. A piece of me has been left there, and every time I step foot on it's soil, I feel like I've come home.
My circle of friends and community is one of the greatest blessings in my life. You'll find me regularly hosting dinners and game nights to bring together our nearest and dearest.

I was not the child who grew up envisioning her wedding day or playing with barbie dolls and babies. Even though my feminine side and motherly instincts took a little bit longer than normal to develop, I always knew that I wanted to be married and have a family. We have chosen to home educate our kids, often through immersive cultural experiences. This little family is truly my greatest joy and adventure.
