I thought since I have posted some pictures of me recently, and that you know what I look like, I’d share 30 random tidbits about the real me. (because I did turn 30 this year… YIKES!) Maybe you’ll run into me, or hire me for your next photo session. Knowing some quirky things might make you feel more comfortable when I’m hiding behind the camera at our next session! I have to say, I am grateful for all the people that hire me who I don’t know. I appreciate the referalls, and the kind words about my work and style of photographs. It’s fun meeting so many new people, from clients to other photogs too! Ok, so here we go ;)
1) I hate pieces of black lint. I always think it’s a bug.
2) I like candy. Lots of it. Bad sweet tooth!!
3) you probably didn’t know this, but I love the colour purple. It’s been a long going obsession.
4) I grew up in a isolated small town of less than 2,500.
5) In my early years the house next door to me was often vacant. So, I made up an imaginary friend with the name Suzy. She lived there, and I would always pretend to pick her up and visit her. Then when I got older, a girl with the name Suzy actually moved there. I only knew her for a short time before I had to move to another town.
6) I’ve always wanted to be left handed. I usually make note when I see someone who is. I don’t know why.
7) I like using even numbers on volume controls and microwaves.
8) I don’t wear alot of jewelry. Small stud earrings and wedding rings. If I wear a watch or even a belt I feel too dressed up.
9) There are no words for how much I hate shoe shopping
10) I enjoy learning and doing crafty type things. I like to create beautiful things with my hands. On that note, I can’t draw much more than a mean stick man LOL ;)
11) I used to cut my hair really short and dye it strange colours biweekly. (when Chad met me it was actually blue at the time :)
12) I could never be a vegetarian. I like eating meat
11) One of my daughters names I picked when I was 16
12) I’ve always wanted a restored vintage VW bug or bus
13) I miss my dad everyday, for almost three years now.
14) I still take my pillow with me on overnight trips
15) Being in the mountains is one of my favorite places. I always tell Chad I want to move in the middle of nowhere in the mountains, raise my kids and be a hermit, lol!!
16) I don’t like when my food touches on my plate.
17) I love the smell of clean laundry from the dryer, the smell of fresh play-dough, and Scotch brand tape.
18) When I was a teen, I tin foiled my entire bedroom. yup so awesome!
19) Almonds are my favorite nut, Raspberries my favorite fruit and Tiger my favorite ice cream!
20) I hate coconut, kiwi’s, tomatoes and especially mushroom and all it’s fungi. sick and yuck!
21) I’m really tired of rude people. I think alot of people need to take a course on how to properly treat other people.
22) My toes are perfect. I’d say they are my best feature :)
23) The small town I live in now is actually the place I’ve called “home” for the longest period of my life. Although I’ve lived here longer than anywhere, I know the least amount of people here. I’ve lived in 4 different small towns and one city and many different houses along the way. I treasure things that have made it along all the moves.
24) The older I’ve become the more introverted I’ve become. I’m not as outgoing as I once was :(
25) I am nocturnal. I hate mornings.
26) Broken crayons make me kinda sad.
27) Chad and I have been dating since I was 18. We met in a bar and moved in together after a few months of dating, and have been together 12 years, married 8 this year!
28) I still have a pair of runners in perfect condition my mom bought me when I was 16. They were too big at the time and I thought they were nerdy, so I never wore them. My mom said I’d grow into them. Well it’s been 14 years and they still sit in my closet unworn, still a little too big, but maybe they’re cool now? LOL!
29) I used to be a terrible nail bitter. I wore gel nails for years and I’ve managed to kick the habit and grow my own now
30) I’m an avid recycler. Don’t make me pick your garbage :)
