From an early age growing up in Milwaukee, Tif took an intense interest in the arts. Dance, writing, photography, music, theater; it all makes her heart beat a little faster. Her alma maters include Milwaukee High School of the Arts for Creative Writing and the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC for photography. Tif moved to Las Vegas after NYC where she managed a major brand store on the strip and freelanced editorial photography. She reconnected with a friend from her late teens from Milwaukee, moved back to the Midwest, and married him. Their family is complete (for now) with a passionate son, a bold daughter, a fat cat, and a smush-faced dog. Tif owns and operates two photography businesses, is working on a manuscript, and manages her household fulltime. Her versions of self care involve some sort of Mexican food and drink, the arts, fresh air, and a good friend.
