My photo journey

Capturing a moment that will turn into a memory has been something I have loved for a very long time. As a child, I remember picking up my grandma’s camera every chance I got. I started snapping photos of everything around her house. When I was around six years old, I started asking for a camera every year for Christmas. I received multiple throughout the years but not at all the kind I had in mind. They were all tiny, you could hardly see the screen, nothing could have been done with the photos, and even if you could print them, the quality would have been the worst thing you ever laid your eyes on. Looking back, it is obvious why a grade schooler would not be gifted a professional camera, but a girl sure can dream!

Soon after my thirteenth birthday, I had enough money saved up to purchase my first DSLR camera. Slowly but surely, my portfolio grew, and I would not be where I am with photos today if it were not for those very trusting people in my early photography days. I have grown immensely in my knowledge and skill since then, but truly, I will never stop learning and I could not be more grateful for this job.
