THE START
It all started with a car wash. This is almost ironic because if you know me, then you know one of my #1 fears in life is the car wash. It’s a really funny story of how I got to be where I am in the world of photography. I’m a firstborn at heart. Always independent, knows right from wrong, protective of my people, and slightly stubborn. Back when I was in elementary school we had a babysitter one day that I did not like and asked my brothers to wash her car. I ran back inside our house to grab my family’s cheap Nikon DSLR camera and started taking photos as what I would present as evidence to my parents. Long story short – I realized I could reach people and show authentic moments with a camera in my hand. These days those moments just look a little bit different 😉
THE GROWING
I started yearbook staff in 5th grade and continued all throughout high school. I started taking senior photos my freshmen year of high school, photographed my first wedding when I was sixteen (really thankful for the coolest people out there who trusted a sixteen-year-old to shoot their wedding), opened up a studio at eighteen, and have photographed hundreds of moments and stories in between. Jesus has been so faithful to provide and I feel really thankful to be able to fulfill my photography dreams. I went running full speed with the opportunities I was given and haven’t looked back since. It feels unreal to me that this is my job and you all trust me with such important memories. I am just so grateful. I am always learning, always growing, and always looking to be better. Photographs you can feel – my biggest goal of what I want to give to you – because honestly, I just want to remember all of this. You all let me live my dream, so I want you to be able to have photographs of you living yours. If you made it this far, thank you. Thank you for being here!
