Random soup about me.... I am a daughter, sister, friend, mother of 5 and photographer. My children are my world and how I got into this business over 7 years ago.

Besides being a mom and photographer I love; coffee, sunshine, road trips, tattoos, Christmas, Halloween, baseball, camping, and zombies. https://www.facebook.com/theanchoredlens or http://theanchoredlens.com/
