I grew up posing my stuffed animals for portraits in my bedroom. I used felt throws as backdrops, turned my step stool into a riser and propped a flashlight up behind an umbrella to ensure enough light was hitting my subjects. Playing "photographer" was one of my favorite pastimes. I didn't know that it would become my career, let alone my dream job. Two years and almost one hundred bookings later, I'm so glad that I pursued photography, not only because I love taking photos, but because I love the stories behind each and every moment captured.
