My love for the camera started when I was just a kid. Whenever my mom took out her camcorder to make home movies, BAM, I dropped whatever I was doing and began performing! I grew up wanting to be a soap opera actress for as long as I can remember! As much as I loved being in front of the camera, I loved being behind it too! My mom was always yelling at me to stop taking pictures of just anything (afterall, back in those days we had to buy film and pay to get it developed, we couldn’t just erase with a click of a button!) Thank goodness my husband felt differently (as long as the pics weren’t of him!) he’s the one that bought me my first DSLR camera for Christmas, just a couple weeks after our wedding! The amount of buttons and options compared to my simple point and shoot model overwhelmed me. But whenever I set my mind to something, I’m all in! I read the manual from front to back and even enrolled in Nikon School where I took many classes to learn everything I needed to know, or so I thought. The more and more I learned, I realized the most important thing to always remember is that you can never stop learning and you will never know everything! I’ve traveled all over the country to take classes from some of the very best photographers in the world, I’ve attended multiple conferences, worked with fabulous models to perfect my craft, and even spent a couple years working for celebrity wedding planner David Tutera, the list goes on!
