Welcome to the world of an Enneagram 8w7. What is an Enneagram 8w7, you ask? It’s a very rare personality trait which I possess & I thought I’d share it with you so you can get to know me a little bit more. This personality is described simply as: Energetic & Enthusiastic. The people with this personality type pride themselves on independence, honesty, truth and immense loyalty. They think practically and creatively. They can make quick, logical and fair decisions and are typically in leadership roles. They are confident and direct with their speech. They’re able to share their thoughts easily and run multiple tasks at a time. Enneagram 8w7’s lead with inspiration and are very effective at what they do.
MY STORY
‘Once I got my hands on a camera many years ago, I was hooked! The creative nature of photography was a natural fit for me. Within my first year of business my work had already been Nationally recognized, featured, and published multiple times & I came to realize that there was no stopping point.
Prior to being a photographer, I was an Interior Designer. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Colorado State University with a degree in Environmental Design (with a concentration in interior design). Following college I designed thousands of award-winning model homes, sales offices and clubhouses for residential builders throughout Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and Texas. I have since laid down my interior design hat, but I still do staging consultations for realtors’ sellers upon request (as well as photograph their properties…wink). Knowing exactly what buyers are looking for is one of my superpowers.
In addition to photography and interior design, I’m an avid artist. I primarily work in oil painting, pencil drawing and sculpture. I work on commission, but I also create my own pieces. My art varies from westerns, equine, livestock, landscapes, portraits, & still life’s. I grew up on a ranch raising and showing livestock and horses. Agriculture is in my blood so naturally it comes out in everything I do.
When I first dove into photography long ago, I merely wanted to create photographs as reference pieces for my paintings. I poured myself into photography school and devoured it. Little did I know that I would fall in love with the camera as much as I loved interior design and art. Pretty soon it was evident, my photography would stretch way beyond just reference photos. The composition, the subjects, the editing...........it all was just an extension of my artistic abilities.
Some may say, you cannot specialize in more than one style of photography. I’m here to tell you that’s nonsense. When it comes to me and my diverse background, I naturally specialize in many realms of photography, which directly correspond to my past experiences.
I’ve truly been blessed with hundreds of repeat clients who trust me with all of their photography needs through life, and I could not be more gracious!
My primary photography specialties are:
Weddings * Seniors * Headshots * Family * Maternity * Newborn * Portraits * Equine * Livestock * Real Estate * Branding * Fashion & Product
Whether you’re marketing to sell, or making memories, I can help!’
