THIS PAGE IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND ALL THE JUICY DETAILS ABOUT ME :)
YES! This is me!!!
I live in michigan and i love winter!
Let me introduce myself! As you read on my homepage, my full name is Annette but I go by Nettie to my close friends, family, and clients. It's so much easier for little ones to say "Nettie" than "Annette."
My passion for photography has been with me for awhile, but I didn't start taking photos professionally until about 8ish years ago. I absolutely love capturing all the memories - my own AND my clients'.
I really enjoy ALL the seasons in Michigan - even winter. But up here, we get a lot of folks who despise winter, complain about it. I used to be like that. I hated how my birthday was in February and I could never have a big summer party. But something switched inside of me. I started telling myself to enjoy ALL the seasons that God has blessed us with, including my birthday month. So, here I am. I started celebrating my birthdays, winter hiking with my gal pals. And I think to myself, "Gee, I'm so lucky to have a birthday that falls on usually the snowiest month of the year here in Michigan."
• I love winter, mountains, forests, and the rocky beaches of Lake Superior
• I was homeschooled in high school
• I love red wine. LOVE that California Cab!
• We recently moved from the suburbs to the city and loving it!!!!
• I also love reality tv, like Amazing Race and Survivor. In fact, I went into labor with my oldest in the middle of Survivor (this is before DVR times) and I just had to wait until the episode was done before we left for the hospital, lol. I had him a few hours later in the early AM.
• I was born and raised in West Michigan.
• My baby girl and I practically look like twins. It’s almost uncanny how much we look alike. Although she now has quite a few piercings and tattoos, lol
• We bought an RV July 2020, and then upgraded in 2022 and recently RV'd to Cali
• My best friend and I both grew up with funky Christian Alternative music - I so miss those bands like Relient K, Skillet, Geoff Moore and the Distance, DC Talk - Christian Music is just not the same anymore…

• I’m an extroverted introvert, an Enneagram 7w6, and was recently diagnosed w/ ADHD
• I actually really enjoyed building this website • on my own and quite proud of it!
