Voice

I have a strong passion for photography! I fell in love with photography at an early age. Growing up I watched my father take pictures of sports teams, families, children, and many other things. Seeing as though I was very young when photography grabbed my interest, I didn’t know much about it except that it was a lot of fun. My father passed away when I was 13 years old but he left me with an amazing gift. He left me with his passion for photography. That is something I have carried with me but never acted on for 9 years. One morning I woke up and had an epiphany and decided that I wasn’t going to let my father’s spirit die with him. I have my father by my side every click of my camera. He has shown me what is really important to me and what images I enjoy capturing most. Since there is so much history and emotion behind my dreams, I feel it only fits that I enjoy taking pictures of people. I want to capture the emotional; moments in peoples’ lives. I believe that every moment whether it be happy, sad, stressful, angry, affection, or surprise; I want to capture it all.

I have not had many hands on experiences with photography as I am still learning how to technically capture the perfect image. I have not done any fancy photo shoots or anything that I can brag about but I can brag to you that I am learning a lot and very much enjoying myself. My boyfriend and friends have kindly volunteered to be my models so I can get some practice getting more comfortable with my camera and all its settings. I look forward to my future in photography and know that I will soon capture some unforgettable moments!
