FRESH FACES
Kristin Rutkowski
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO OPEN LILAC MEADOWS?
I’ve always loved photography, and I discovered that I love taking
pictures of other people. That inspired me to learn as much as
I could about the field. I started taking workshops and learning
about photo editing to hone my skills. Once I did that, I was
inspired to share my love with others and that led me to open Lilac
Meadows. My business allows me to share my passion with others.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT DOING BUSINESS
LOCALLY?
I did not grow up in this area; I moved here in 2012. My husband
grew up here and has connections to the area. What I love most
about doing business locally, is that now I am making connections,
too. I’m meeting new people that I wouldn’t have met if I hadn’t
opened my business. By doing so, it inspires me to want to do
more business in the area.

I decided to join the Chamber because of the connections and
networking opportunities it provides. I grew up watching my
stepfather doing things with the community through our local
Chamber. I love how much good the Chamber does for the
community.
