I began photographing for fun in 2009. I invested in a Canon Rebel T1i, and I began carrying it everywhere I went, capturing things that interested me. Immediately, I began to get curious about how the camera worked apart from it's automatic functions. I dove into the tedious learning process of shooting in manual and learned everything about my camera until I felt comfortable enough to photograph people using full manual mode. This was when I was 15.
By age 16, I had my first photo session which involved doing band photos for a few friends. Shortly after, I became a business. I am now 20 years old, attending Eastern Mennonite University pursuing a degree in photography. I have successfully made photography my only income and my business is officially legal. No longer just a hobby, I plan on making photography my full time career (if it isn't already) and beginning my journey as a wedding and portrait photographer.
