How did I get here?
Hi, my name is Mollie. I am a girl from Austin who somehow transplanted out to Leander, Texas... to the suburbs of the city. I'm an Austin girl all the way through however. I am a mom raising two short, crazy, fruit-loopy kiddos. I'm a wife, married to a guy named Critter. I'm an ice hockey player who enjoys messing around with her garden. That pretty well sums up my world. Oh opps… forgot a major piece. The reason you're here... I’m a photographer!
Now, I’d love to tell you that I’ve been in love with the camera since I could walk but that simply isn’t the case. I’m not sure I even owned a real camera before I had kids truthfully. And even then, once the first child emerged, I was a video camera user full force. But moving out to Leander and falling into many playgroups, I tried to pick up the other mom’s hobby of scrapbooking. Critter teased. Why would I do that when I have such a great Photoshop background he would ask. Clearly, as in most instances, he was correct. I flopped to the other side into digital scrapbooking. It would have been dreamy for me had I not stumbled upon a major problem. I was running out of photos, and fast! Enter Christmas 2006… the glorious DSLR camera gift. {Can you hear the angelic music playing?} From that moment on, everything I did revolved around learning that machine. Books, classes, workshops… The camera never left my possession. I was known to pull over during traffic just to catch a shot of something silly on the side of the road. It’s become a part of me forever, as easy as breathing. In the end, it's become an amazing career that I am so thankful for. Not many people can say they truly love their jobs.
I can.
