WELCOME TO KREATIVITY!!

WELCOME to my website!!!!! My website is a reflection of me!!! It combines my love of photography, yoga, art travel, food, and all things w good vibes and swear words. Yoga and photography both started as passions and turned into “jobs” that I absolutely love to show up for day after day!!

When I was in 2nd grade (back in the 80’s) I decided I wanted to be a teacher, photographer, or archaeologist. For years I was the “annoying” friend with the camera (you’re welcome for all the awesome “group photos” over the years friends!!). I collected rocks in elementary school and created random arts and crafts all day every day. You name it, I made it. I made sweet ass seed bead bracelets on a loom when I was like 8/9, I turned my play house into a studio with a mini potters wheel when we learned about Native American art, I made collages, drawings, paintings, FIMO creations, weird experiments with hot glue, sequins, and plastic shot glasses. I went to college for art and decided I wanted to be an art teacher and share my passion for creativity and creating with tiny humans.

I started my photography business Kreativity while I was looking for a full time art education position around 11 1/2 years ago. I invested in a studio, fun backdrops, lots of cool props and brushed up on all the college photography and photoshop skills I had learned. My photography business has grown into more than I could have ever imagined. The connections and people I have met along the way warm my heart. I love to pick fun locations that reflect the likes and interests of families. I love to watch people change, grow, and evolve over the years. I always wanted to show my art students that art can be a passion and/or a career. I think it is so important for me, as an art teacher to show my students that I am creating every day!!

In my spare time and during the times in my life where I was stressed or needed movement I found myself coming back to the same yoga DVD. I did yoga at home for years and then finally took a class with a real teacher…. yep a real person LOL!!! Small town problems… it took a long time to get yoga classes in the area I live in (so thankful there are a lot of awesome options these days). I was going crazy after playing sports and being involved in activities in high school and college. I fell deeper and deeper in love with yoga… I went to a training not really knowing if I wanted to teach or just do it for personal growth and on my way home from the training I started texting co-workers and setting up a class. Since then I have been teaching yoga, going to classes and trainings to learn and explore the practice. I love creating fun classes and themes, incorporating my love of color, music, fun lights, and the occasional swear word into my classes. Yoga has led me back to my love of rocks and crystals and all the magical things.

I am so grateful to follow my heart and do the things I am passionate about daily… and share that love with others. I hope that I can give students, art and yoga alike a moment of joy. A moment to pause and just be present. A moment to feel good about them-selves, a moment to take time out of their day to just be.

When I’m not teaching art, taking pictures, or teaching yoga… OR planning classes, projects, and events (I kinda love my agenda lol) I love to travel… cook…. bake…. drink lattes and wander.

I am so excited for my website and hope that in some way I can inspire, help, or relate to others living this crazy thing called life through my authentic and honest approach to all things.
