I grew up less than a mile from a dirt track called Skagit Speedway, located in the Great Northwest. The sound of sprint cars were my lullabies, the smell of methanol was my fresh air and the thrill of speed became my passion. Naturally, it was a childhood dream that I would one day be a hot shot female racing champion winning trophy after trophy in a bright Red Miss Budweiser sprint car with a pair of zeros on the wings. Unfortunately... that never happened.

... Instead, life happened...

In my return to sprint car racing, I built a sprint car website called SprintCarz.com. While creating SprintCarz.com, I stumbled across motorsport photography.

Ever since I can remember I've loved taking and looking at photos. So naturally, when my love of sprint cars and my love of photography collided... suddenly I felt like I had come home. And that is the simple story as to how Pit Princess Pics came to be.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my site. Come back often to see the latest pictures captured here in the Great Northwest.

My most frequently asked question:

Why do you wear a tiara when you are taking pictures in the pits?
1. I swear to God the tiara has saved my life in the pits. Because it's so sparkly and shiny, the drivers are more likely to see me and less likely to run me over... accidentally anyway...

2. I find that the tiara is kind of like the adult version of the stuffed cookie monster they have at the Sears Portrait Studios to get the little kids to look at the camera. I get tons of shots of drivers looking directly into the camera... and I'm convinced it's 'cause they see something sparkle out of the corner of their eye... lol...

3. And finally, there just aren't enough places to wear a damn tiara... so I thought I'd start a trend!
