About Kacie

I am a Midwesterner, professional video editor, hobbyist photographer, vegetarian, and animal-lover.

I met my partner Kevin in 2009 and we married in 2013 in Valletta, Malta. We live in Wisconsin, working full-time office jobs and enjoying all four seasons, as well as a lower cost of living that lends itself to more hobbies and travel. We have a yellow lab/husky mix named Sapphira and a white German Shepherd named Ryker, and we are happily childfree.

Travel

I like to be busy on vacation and to see as much as possible, but I am not an adventure traveler. What draws me to a destination are the visuals and learning opportunities. I love historical locations and stunning natural beauty. My travel mode is “early to bed and early to rise,” skipping most nightlife attractions in favor of more intellectual experiences that I can venture to first thing in the morning. Castles, architecture, natural wonders, wildlife, food traditions, markets, film locations, and museums are just some of what I love to experience on vacation.

Photography

I’ve been pursuing photography as a hobby since 2006. It’s the one extracurricular of which I never seem to grow tired. I’ve taken a couple classes but am mostly self-taught. I started with the Nikon system, but in 2017 I decided to try out mirrorless, and now I am mostly using Fujifilm. My favorite genres are travel and candid lifestyle photography.
