My Photography Backstory

MY PHOTOGRAPHY BACKSTORY

Hi! I thought my first post would be fitting to have a backstory on how I began photography. I remember as cliché as it may sound, to always love photography. When I was in high school I got a cheap DSRL camera. I would take pictures at church and really enjoyed it. I think the moment I found that I loved photography was when my family and I went to Alaska. I remember having my camera with me every minute of the trip. I wish more than ever I could have the opportunity now to take my camera with me to Alaska with all that I have learned.

After my family got back home from Alaska, I decided that I would try to start my own business. In 2013, I sat down and tried to make a logo and a website. I remember that I sat down and cried, while being extremely overwhelmed on where to start. I made a decision that day that even though photography was hard, I would try my best to improve.

Then life happened! I was a full time college student with a part time job for four more years. During those years, I would have a photography session everyone once in a while. I was so consumed in school that I could not focus on photography.

I graduated with my second college degree in May of 2016. I was literally so excited to finally do something fun! I was not happy in school. I went because that is what I had to do. But when I thought about photography, I could feel my heart burn with passion.

Now here I am with several weddings booked and so much knowledge about photography. I am so excited about this journey and my new website!
