About Kelly

More than you ever cared to know…I may have taken the ‘about me’ page one paragraph too far.

Stats:

*Married to my high school sweetheart for 11 yrs  *Attempting to raise 3 kids (ages 9, 6 &3)  College Degree:  Mass Communications from Mankato State  *Height:  5’3  *Weight:  Like, what it says on my drivers license?  Or the truth?  eeeh, not going there.  *Religion: Lutheran  *Nationality:  Irish  *Politics:  Conservative…yet clueless at the same time.  *Blood type: O+  *Handedness:  Left  *Camera:  Nikon D700  *Best vacation spot:  Trunks Bay, St. John’s.  *Position:  1st base  (kidding, those who know me know I can’t throw to save my life).  *Favorite Movies:  Dirty Dancing & the Hangover  *Special Skills:  Pouring a perfect margarita, playing piano, meat slicing & making jokes at funerals (an unfortunate side affect of constantly wanting to lighten moods).

Likes:

I like to eat dessert after every meal.  I like to creep on clients using facebook (don’t be afraid).  I like having weekends off to go up north with my fam.  I like turning every day conversations into something totally inappropriate.  I like using my mom as my own personal ‘guide to life’…she’s better than google.  I like seeing my children do well in school…I’m so proud of them…and mildly concerned that there was a switch at the hospital (these things happen).  I like going to conferences and workshops for photography…finally, some schooling that doesn’t put me to sleep.  I like girls night out (or GNO, for those ‘in the know’)…isn’t it time for another?  Ladies?  Oh, and I like my job…a lot.

Dislikes:

I don’t like having conversations with deep, philosophical people…all the head-nodding and mmm-hmmming on my end is exhausting.  I don’t like mushrooms and peas…they are not welcome here.  I don’t like bathroom scales…they make me hyperventilate.  I don’t like when people write obscure facebook status’s…if you have something of substance to say, say it, otherwise shut your pie-hole.  I don’t like getting older…the years are starting to whiz by at an alarming rate.  I don’t like being early for anything other than work…if I show up early to an event, I will find something to do in my car until I absolutely have to get out.

Was I supposed to mention my photography journey somewhere on this page?  Let’s just say it’s been a long, twisty road filled with a lot of white wicker.  Getting to this point in my business has been so exciting…God has blessed me with a job that makes me happy to wake up every morning, a beautiful studio to work in every day and amazing clients and friends that allow me to live my dream.  I almost burst into song just now.
