Hello there!
I'm so glad you've decided to stop by and read a little bit of what I've recently jumped into. With that being said, although I jumped right in... It was a decision that was years in the making.
I have always loved to be creative. If it was making up random dances in the bathroom when I was younger to making book marks out of older pages in other books, it seemed that I always needed a creative outlet. It even started to become a small issue when my boss would approach me at work saying "Nice doodles there, but we really need ....." Yea, lets just say my mind needed a little more freedom. This freedom came when I got my hands on my first camera, a Cannon, a little over 5 years ago.
To make a very long story short (I'm sure the long version can come another time), I had purchased a new Nikon camera and convinced myself that this was something I full-heartily needed to invest myself in. I had tossed the idea around for years and just knew it was time to take the plunge! I found a workshop in Louisiana and truly had the best teacher. She gave the best advice, gave me information about her personal experiences and helped lead me in the direction I really felt I belonged in. The amount of what I learned not just about a camera, but about myself over those few days were well worth that scary decision to follow my gut and my dream. I cannot wait to see where this dream takes me from here.
