I'm pretty sure all of us grew up taking pictures with the film Kodak cameras or polaroid cameras. As a high school student, I always begged my parents to buy me a DSLR.  My logical parents didn't buy it at the time, because they never saw me pick up a camera. 4 years later at graduation, I still found myself asking for a DSLR as a gift. My parents gave in and the rest was history. 

I really started out taking pictures around house or at family gatherings. My dad called me their personal "Paparazzi". I started to bringing my camera work and offered to take pictures of school events for free. I honestly didn't want the money, I just wanted to practice. Everynight after grad school, I watched videos online and treated it like "class:". 

Free photoshoots, turned into paid family sessions. My clientele continued to grow blessing me with back to back booked weekends. I became booked and busy with weddings, engagement sessions, and family portraits. I am forever thankful my parents purchased that camera in 2017. Who freaking knew.
