Horses, photography and hunting
I have been a 4-H parent for almost 20 years. I am actively involved in the Coos County 4-H and FFA auction at fair. I have hunted my whole life as well as my husband, Darrin and my girls Brittney, Corttney and Kenzie. Photography is my passion. I dont really focus on one area of photography, but if I had to choose it would be landscapes... nothing more beautiful than a sunrise, sunset or the intriguing waterfalls.
