The Story of a Photographer
There's something about a precious moment being captured that lights my soul on fire. It's about capturing MORE than the moment. I was a little girl when I got my first camera, and my passion for photography has grown ever since. Growing up, I would take pictures of anyone that would let me - all of the time. When I went to college, I was so excited to turn my hobby into a job. However, those plans changed when all of my gear was unfortunately stolen. This really discouraged me and I steered away from photography for a bit. When I graduated college, I purchased new gear and began taking photos again for fun again. Unexpectedly, I started to get feedback on the photos I would take. Whether it be my own instagram photos, pictures from family gatherings/holidays, or senior pictures I took for a friend- the feedback was outstanding.
At that time, I did have a full time job, so I put my focus towards that. I felt I lacked what it took to be a "professional photographer". But something else was lacking. I knew I had something within me waiting to jump out, I knew I wanted to create something of my own where I could express my creativity.
With the continuous and overflowing encouragement I received from friends and family, I finally took the leap of faith.
And I am so glad I did.
I am grateful for everyday I get to be on this earth pursuing this long-time dream of mine. I am thankful for every single client who has invested in me and trusted me.
I do a tiny happy dance and am all giddy everytime I get a booking or even just an inquiry.
I absolutely love what I do!
Is there anything worse than a picture where everyone else looks great and you look awkward? Tense? Ten pounds heavier than you feel? If only you had moved this way a little, leaned your face that way, not put your hand like that. And what in the world is going on with your hair?
I'm here to help.
I never expect my clients to be professional models. I want you to come as you are! It is my job to make you look beautful, so you don't need to worry about setting up the perfect pose or stress about not knowing what to do. I am here to guide you and capture the most authentic version of yourself!
So take a breath, relax, and enjoy the moment.
