Interests/Hobbies

My husband Eric and I have four children and we live on a small farm outside of Mankato. I own Woller Photography and have a studio in the hayloft of our century barn. Even if time does not necessarily allow for them, my other interests include horseback riding, traveling, hiking, bicycling, hockey, volleyball, sewing, scrapbooking, baking, reading and relaxing on my porch swing.
