What’s in a name…?

I’m a simple down-home girl from the southeast Wisconsin prairie who loves taking photographs your family will love for generations. I am equally passionate about getting the photographs off the digital devices and onto your walls where you can enjoy them every day in the simplest and most impactful way as professionally printed heirloom quality products.

I have a lifelong love of the book series Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Combining this love of the simple sweet life on the prairie with creative endeavors that could financially support myself, years ago I decided to name a new handcraft business prairie girl co. Like Tiffany & Co. or NY & Co., but I chose lower case letters to emphasize the sweet simplicity.

A little over a month after opening that business, where I created knit and crochet toys, Christmas ornaments, and other small home decor items, I bought a lively Engapoo puppy, named Annie, who is the most cat-like dog I have ever met. I have not (yet) been able to continue the crafting business due to her obsession with yarn and anything that moves that I’m currently working with.

Well, now that I have (technically) two businesses I decided to add a descriptor to each name so that you would have some clue what I sell. That’s always helpful, right? So, prairie girl co. | Photography was officially born!
