Everything happens at the right time and place.
I fell in love with photography 10+ years ago in my high school class. I knew it was something I wanted to do but after high school I guess I wasn’t ready for it. Or maybe Photography wasn’t ready for me because it moved to the back of my mind. For the next few years I focused on necessities of life and started a family. Then digital photography exploded and instead of jumping on the bandwagon I kind of ran from it. There’s gotta be some psychological explanation but in short, I inverted. I sat back and watched the industry grow. It wasn’t till the family and I moved and I got over myself that I plunged head in. It just felt like now was the right time.
Change is good.
After living in Southern Utah for a couple of years something didn’t feel right. The hubs and I had wanted to move up north to the Salt Lake area for sometime but nothing was a good enough excuse to leave his job for the unknown. Until we had the impression that I needed to go back to school. Like I said after high school I was focused on family and I didn’t make it past my first semester of college. At the same time the hubs and I came to the same conclusion that it was time for me to go back to school and we needed to move up north for me to do so. The hubs still doesn’t have a job but it’s alright. It’s a change that we’ve wanted and is going to benefit us in ways that I can’t even imagine. Things have been falling into place before we even decided to move and I know things will continue to fit in the puzzle. I am so incredibly excited to go back to school and learn and get my BFA in Photography.
Vision.
My photography is the art I create. I will never be 120% happy with my photography because the minute I am is the minute I plateau. I am always learning and always changing my vision for the better. I have only been doing this professionally for a year and a half and if you look back in my archives you can see how far I have come but you can also see the direction I am going. UP! Almost every shoot I get a light bulb. Something that tells me, AHA! THIS. is you! THIS. is them! I’m finding my voice. I’m also looking to speak up and out more. I am not the right fit for everyone. But if you want me as your photographer than I am the right fit for you because I know you trust me and will allow me to take the reigns. I absolutely love what I do. I love what photography is about. It’s about what’s happening right now, good or bad, and it’s real.
