Authenticity draws me in – from an honest smile, a performance, eye contact. I’m patient and receptive, and become stubborn when I’m passionate. In my quest to know the world more, I am constantly reminded I really don’t know “Jack…” You can find this anthropologist window-shopping in Anthropologie. Peace is found driving north of Santa Barbara up the coast. Healthy eating deserves some sweet rewards. Creating art, playing in the dirt, and laughter are what make me feel alive.

I have always been more of an introvert. Thankfully, my parents placed me in dance when I was little, which gave me a platform for expression. I missed those performance days a few years ago until I realized there were no limits to what I could share through photographs. Don’t get me wrong; you’ll still find me LIVING (in my mind) in a dance class here and there.

My family and friends are dear to me. All of the good qualities I possess are only a reflection of these amazing individuals.

I am Louise, and I am thankful to do what I love.
