I am an east coast born, Missouri raised, wife and homesteading momma that has a passion for the simpler things in life. As a young child I remember watching the Lord of The Rings for the very first time, and being absolutely mesmerized with the incredible cinematography and the emotions that the picture and music evoked.   This is a foundational pillar in why I choose to pursue photography--storytelling. What once glance or touch of a hand can say, writers may spend books painting for us what all lead to this moment and what makes it so precious.
