She co-founded Bismarck Boss Babes and loves finding creative ways to give back, like Portraits with Purpose, a headshot fundraiser she co-hosted with her friend Chelsy of The Poppy Creative that raised $1,800 for two local nonprofits. When she's not behind the camera, she's chasing her kids, coming up with ten new business ideas, and trying to automate her systems all at the same time.
