Belle-Ink

I am a Sun Valley sun child, born and raised. My main passion became skiing when my parents first put me on skis when I was just three. After watching Picabo Street, I decided I wanted to be a ski racer. I have been on the race team for over 10 years and unfortunately, I had two knee surgeries during the past three years which was a major set back from my childhood goal of being an Olympian. I graduated high school last year, and now I am so very fortunate to take a year off from school to follow my dreams. When I was recovering from surgery, I studied photography; now, I'm starting my very own, and very small, business. I love photographing people and I also have a knack for hair and make up that started at a young age. I have cut and dyed my own hair, and now I also style other's hair and make up for modeling portfolios or special occasions. I can see myself doing that as a living. On the other hand, I would love to be a photographer who works in the mountains. I’m not sure where my path will take me however, so I’m “going with the flow” or more likely “as the ski turns.”
