Karen Lenz: Legendary Ladies Spotlight
In 2022, I completed a portrait project called Legendary Ladies which was all about celebrating women over 40. As I’ve started a new project, This is Me, I’ve been thinking back on the sessions from my first portrait project in the studio in Cisco, TX.
Over the next several weeks, I’ll be featuring each participant of the Legendary Ladies project on my blog. Follow along as I share these amazing women’s stories.
Today, we’re spotlighting Karen Lenz.
Karen is the broker and owner of Trinity Ranch Land. It was wonderful getting to know her and talk about her love for traveling. She actually wasn't able to attend the exhibit because her husband was running a marathon in Japan. Sounds like a pretty incredible reason to miss, right?
She also shared stories about how she spends time with her grandkids. You could tell she really cherishes the time she gets with them.
Get to Know Karen
“Growing up, my dad worked for Shell Oil and we moved 9 times before my senior year in high school. Rodeo Queen in Goldthwaite, TX my freshman year of high school. Have had my real estate license since 1995 and started Trinity Ranch Land in 2008.”
What advice would you give your younger self?
“Listen to that inner voice and go for it! Walt Disney - "If you can dream it, you can do it."
Seek wisdom and mentor's in your teens or at least your 20's and keep them around the rest of your life.”
How did your view on life change after turning 40?
“It's even more important than I previously thought to surround yourself with people who want more for you than from you and for me to have that heart for the people around me, cheering and encouraging them in their hopes and dreams.”
What is one of the most rewarding things about aging?
“The relationships!”
My new portrait project: This is Me, is accepting clients. This project is not age based, but is designed for women at all stages of their adult life to step into their highest self confidence. If you’re interested in learning more about the project, click here.
