My dad was a hobbyist photographer. He took a ton of pictures of me and my sister, but he really loved landscapes. I can remember sitting down to look at the photos with a slide film viewer after he got new rolls developed from a trip. When I was in 8th grade, I asked for my first camera. I wandered around outside for hours looking at everything through the lens, and I was that girl that took her point and shoot everywhere (y'all are welcome for documenting the sleepovers!). In high school, I got my first DSLR and took photography class. I learned how to shoot and develop film, as well as many foundations for good portraiture. My senior year, I started taking senior portraits for classmates, and people loved them! I couldn't believe the feeling I had when I was shooting, connecting with people and capturing their personalities. It's incredibly satisfying. That feeling increases tenfold when photographing a wedding.
