I caught the animal bug early. I used to sneak stray cats into the house and I walked the neighborhood dogs because I couldn’t have one of my own.

I eloped at age 19 so I could have a horse. (still married and still have horses)
I like to photograph things that move.
Because I have been an animal trainer for years, I know where all the animals are. https://animal-connection.com
Kids and animals like me.
I can shoot kids and animals at the same time.
I also license stock and have a large searchable library of Dog, Cat, Horse and Farm Animal images. http://archive.barbaraobrienphotofarm.com/galle...
I live on a farm in Stockholm, Wisconsin with my family, three dogs, eighteen cats, ten horses, two ponies, seven sheep, thirty some chickens, five ducks, and three very naughty goats.
I travel all over shooting for wonderful clients and have access to great studio space in Minneapolis.
I have a thing for really good brownies. I make really good brownies. And if you let me show you my portfolio, I will bring you some.
