My journey to becoming a full-time photographer is pretty unconventional, to say the least. It started back in 2015 during my Sophomore year of high school when I was placed into a yearbook class instead of a regular elective. I protested this "because who would wanna spend all year with some yearbook nerds" but I couldn't get into another class regardless of how much I annoyed my counselor. My sweet yearbook teacher put up with my whining to switch classes by handing me a camera and told me "go take photos of the football game after school."

Thus turning me into one of the yearbook nerds ;) I quickly realized it was cool to be carrying around the camera at school assemblies and sporting events because everyone wants their photos taken right? From there I was hooked, I began taking pictures of my friends and family during my free time and editing the images on VSCO, and posting them to Facebook. Luckily as my curiosity grew, so did my editing skills. I grew my little business by taking senior portraits as a side hustle to make extra money before heading off to my freshman year of college in Arizona....
