Today I turn 21 and I wanted to share some things about me that you might not know!

1. I wanted to be an author before I became a photographer. I even had a poem published once!

2. I used to hate having my photo taken.

3. One of my favorite movies is Breakfast at Tiffany's.

4. I dream of owning a Jeep and living out of a renovated Airstream.

5. I do most of my own branding. I have such a love for graphic design and marketing.

6. I love thrift shopping, finding pieces with a lot of potential and redoing them. Most of the furniture in my office was thrifted.

7. I have one tattoo, a tree on my left wrist that I got on vacation last summer.

8. I love the Sims games and have been playing them since the first ones!

9. I share the same birthday date as my Great Grandpa.

10. I love Mid Century Modern style furniture!

11. I have a growing collection of vintage cameras including several working polaroids and a Canon film camera.

12. My favorite T.V. guilty pleasure is anything true crime related.

13. I am also an artist and often paint with acrylic or watercolor.

14. When I was younger I dreamed of flying an airplane like my Grandpa.

15. When I need to take a break from work, sometimes I take Snoop for a ride in the truck around some of our country roads.

16. When it comes to metallic accents, gold is my fav!

17. You can often find me wearing a cozy beanie. They're just the most comfortable, although it drives my mom crazy that I wear them all the time!

18. Melanie Martinez, Panic! At The Disco, and Clean Bandit are some of my fav artists to listen to, especially when I'm editing.

19. One summer I worked as a housekeeper in a hotel and it was quite the experience!

20. One of my favorite trips was a girl's trip to Door County and Washington Island with my mom and sister last summer! We had so much fun go karting, mini golfing, and meeting sled dogs!

21.  I am from a small town of around 400 people!
