Terra Fondriest is a documentary photographer living in the Ozark hills of Arkansas with her husband, 2 kids and flock of animals. She graduated with a BS degree in Natural Resources from the University of Illinois in 2004, working jobs in that field until motherhood changed her course in 2011. She slowly but steadily began learning to tell visual stories and has gone on to become a freelance photographer for major US publications while based in the rural Ozarks region of the US. For the most part, her daily activities include but are not limited to: making sure everyone in her family is fed and where they need to be, the dogs are petted, the garden is tended, and that the stories of the Ozarks are being told.
