Photography will always be an ever growing and changing industry.
As I grow and change with each session, I find myself reaching out and discovering new ways to become better at what I do.
There is always room for improvement.
“One of the reasons many photographers never get their business off the ground is they let concepts overwhelm them.
They live in a “what if” state instead of actually doing things.”
I am so not one of those people. I am determined to make this work. Sometimes I just need to take a minute and remind myself I am only 22.
It’s okay to make mistakes. Learn from it and stop making excuses.
It’s not going to be easy.
Make it about other people and not yourself.
There are a few good tips I have learned so far, one of them-
DON’T BE BORING!
Be daring, be different, impractical & yourself. Laugh. SMILE.
Jump around (jump up, jump up & get down?)
Follow in the footsteps of people who truly motivate you.
There are a few people that come to mind:
Amanda Hedgepeth (Amanda Hedgepeth Photography)
A female dominating in this industry like a boss, with a baby! Constantly helping others with a smile on her face. Not only that, she teaches other photographers on how to succeed and accomplish goals. she’s also from one of my favorite places EVER 😉
Josh Ruff (Renaissance Studios)
Sincerely one of the most talented artists I have had the chance to meet! Also a small business owner of a tattoo shop,he definitely has some skills & proves how hard work pays off. (Personally, I wouldn’t choose any other shop!) Josh has given me the opportunity of having a gallery showing. I can’t even begin to explain how grateful I am for something like this! A chance to share something I am extremely passionate about- heck yes!

The ones who supported me from the beginning
Erin, Mark, The Amanda’s & Diane
Yall happen to be my closest friends but I wouldn’t change that for anything. Putting up with cameras in your face, having me harass you about sessions all the time, and plastering the internet with those not so nice photos (sorry!) I have every single one of you to thank for being there for me, letting me take your picture and sometimes giving me advice on how to improve. If I am having a bad day, I take a moment & reflect on the positive things in my life and what I have accomplished so far.
I’m just getting started and I couldn’t find myself doing this without the people who support me the most.
I love you guys! 😀
I am so ready to take on this crazy world
& I want to document it every chance that I get and share it with you.
Learn it. Experience it. Love it. Repeat.
