Meet Sara from Battle Lake, MN! Sara is one of my recent mentorees. We had a great time together! Read on to learn more about her from our interview:
What I loved about my mentor session with Lisa (shameless plug): It was awesome start to finish. She tailored the session to my needs. She asked me what I was looking for and what I wanted to learn. I got that and SO much more. Lisa is a “real” person. She is fun, and energetic and such a sweetheart. I was looking for straight answers to my questions and that is what I got. She gave me a great starting point to get my business going. I wanted a one on one experience where I could ask as many questions as I wanted. I felt comfortable and was not intimidated by her awesome talent. So you are wondering if I liked it…..I LOVED it….I told Lisa that I would like her to mentor me every day for a month. When I left she let me know if I had any unanswered questions to email her and she would help! Thanks Lisa for a great day and a great experience!
I find my work at: I spend most of my days at my restaurant, Stella’s and am getting into photography.
My biggest accomplishment this week was: Buying my new computer…took the leap! Now its real and I am serious!
In my camera bag is: Canon 50d, 50mm 1.2 lens, 20-70 mm 2.8 lens
My recent favorite image is: I took my three children on a little “photo shoot” by the lake (ALONE). Everyone managed to stay dry for maybe 5 minutes. So we continued to take photos in the water. I looked over and saw my daughter in the lake sucking the water out of her dress…YUCK! I guess she was thirsty. But a great photo!

Our last family vacation was: We took a road trip to South Dakota….everyone tries this….. once!
Something most people don’t know about me: I have a black thumb…..I can’t keep any plant or flower alive for more than a couple weeks. I would love to have a garden or beautiful landscaping but I would have to hire someone to keep it up!
In 5 years I see myself: Running a successful photography business and watching my babies grow up!
