I am behind on blog posts since I’ve been so busy with shoots and editing. You would think that in order to start catching up my blog posts to my shoots, my next post would involve some sort of family or couple to share with the world…. but, no. Read on to learn 20 things about your photographer (me!) you may or may not want to know.
1. I skipped Kindergarten. Well, I was in about a month of Kindergarten before being moved to first grade. And, for those of you who don’t know, I am now a Kindergarten teacher. Ironic?
2. I have moved 10 times in the past 7 years… all in San Diego County, within a few miles of the beach.
3. I received one very traumatic “B+” (in DRAMA of all things) from 7th grade through completing my Master’s Degree. Needless to say, I am a huge nerd.
4. I have a TERRIBLE auditory memory and I forget things really easily unless it is written down or captured in a photograph.
5. I had college softball scholarship offers but I turned them down for an academic scholarship to USD.
6. I am pretty much obsessed with my Alaskan Klee Kai puppy, Miki. I adore her! She is the cutest puppy alive. I will post a blog entry about her soon… She turned 1 last Monday!
7. I HATE HATE HATE onions, having my feet tickled, smoke, being late, the 405 freeway, scary movies, roller coasters, and cold weather.
8. I am constantly dancing and singing. I always have a song stuck in my head.
9. I eat to live, not live to eat. There are only a few things that taste good to me (strawberries, pasta, fro-yo). I am a TERRIBLE cook because I honestly don’t know, or care, if something tastes good or not.
10. My favorite thing to do in the summertime (besides go to the beach of course) is attend outdoor country concerts! I lost count, but I have been to at least 40 country concerts in the past 6 years. Down-to-earth people, dancing to live music, margaritas, cowboy hats and boots, sunsets, tailgating… ::sigh::
11. I am instantaneously emotional and I fall in love a thousand times a day.
12. I like to assume that everyone means well and nobody is selfish, that their purpose is always to please others and make the world a better place. I live in the clouds.
13. I've traveled all over the United States to almost every state since I was young. Yep, even South Dakota.
14. I am obsessed with multiples of 3. Ex: Last names with 6 letters like mine!
15. I do not understand people who run for pleasure or go to gyms (I need sun!). Hike with me, bike with me, play catch with me… I need to have a purpose (preferably competitive) to what I am doing. I do not have the internal motivation to just run. I would rather just beat you at something! ;)
16. I absolutely despise talking on the telephone for more than a minute or two. Text me, email me, or make it a quick conversation to figure out where to meet in person.
17. I am completely phobic of Peeps… I could barely even type that. If you are having a Peep-themed reception, I’m NOT your girl.
18. I LOVE cupcakes. I’m pretty sure I know where there is a cupcake shop within a 10 mile radius of where I am at all times.
19. I am not at all shy, but I am quiet. There is a BIG difference. I feel strange starting my sentences with the word “I” since I am more of a listener than a talker.
20. I broke my leg yesterday when Joy and I went cliff jumping. Sorry future brides, I will be limping around your weddings..………………… Ok, ok... April Fools. :)
