Christy's Story

Why I'm "Happy Chick"

 

Growing up in Manhattan, KS, my father was a hobbyist photographer and I was his little assistant in the darkroom.  I was fascinated with it all from an early age and began learning more through my local 4-H group.

After having gone into the corporate world as a young adult, I soon realized I needed to follow my heart and get back to photography.  A honeymoon in Africa sealed the deal.  Once back home with my shiny new camera in hand that I had purchased for the trip, I took the leap of faith and started my own photography business (I had to pay off that camera somehow)!  I knew that if I could make it work as a full-time professional photographer, I would be a "happy chick".  That was in 2004 . . . and I've been a happy chick ever since!
