Being a photographer most of the time, I am the one taking the photo and not being in the photo. Which I am 100% fine with, because I take selfies and YIKES 😊 ….. but what I enjoy most is being able to capture father daughter dances, personalities of kiddos, seniors with a dream and so much more. When people think of me as being a photographer it looks so simple on the surface but deep down I value each and everyone I get the pleasure of meeting through my business because I value people!!!! Life behind the lens has not only given me the privilege of meeting wonderful people but has taken me on adventures I would never have been able to experience without the camera in my hand. Expressing yourself in this world today can be hard, most of the time we are worried about what someone will think. Truth is, expression has never been about impressing people. The most successful folks had to work through lots of self-doubt before they decided to be there authentic self. What is most important to understand is there are so many styles and ways to express yourself. Some of us do it through photos others are music or clothing, regardless how you express yourself the most important thing is to respect all people. We are all just trying to figure out who we are and our place in this crazy world.
