Being a photographer has been a dream of mine for as long as I could remember! After taking photos for my family and friends for several years, I finally decided to take the leap of faith and turn my hobby into my full-time job in January 2021. I had a couple of mentors my first year, which definitely helped me get my foot in the door. I highly encourage new photographers to do some sort of mentorship or education their first or second year!
In my first year of business I tripled my goal. My second year, I doubled my earnings from my first year. This allowed me to quit my 9-5 job and go full-time pursuing my dream as a photographer, and I'd love to help you do the same!
