How my Photography Journey Started

Growing up my mom always had a camera to take photos for family events. She take photos at holiday dinners and family get together. She would never let me and siblings use her camera, but one day I asked her and she let me. So I took photos at the holiday events. We went camping fourth of July weekend in 2017 and we took her camera. We went for a walk with our dogs and I was in charge of taking photos. I was taking photos of my family and the scenery, that was the big moment where I fell in love with being behind the camera. In the Fall of 2017, I was starting my applications for college and I was set that I wanted to go for nursing. One day I decided nursing isn't what is going to make me happy, so I was trying to figure out what I wanted to go to college for. Then I decided I wanted to be a photographer and have a photography business. In the winter of 2017, I was talking to a family friend about how I want to be a photographer instead of a nurse and she was looking for a photographer for her wedding. So a couple of weeks later she asked me if I would photograph her wedding and I could use her wedding as an experience and for the start of my portfolio. I decided I need to buy a professional camera so I bought a Canon Rebel T3i. I took about 4,000 to 5,000 photos at the wedding and when I went through them, I thought I did pretty well for being my first time. When I gave the photos to the newlyweds, they were very happy about the photos. Since then I haven't really done any photos for clients, but I have done portrait, pets and nature photos. I have also started a website with a variety photos for clients and freelancing.
