So, back in 2017, I kinda stumbled into photography. What started as me messing around with a camera quickly turned into a full-blown passion project. I was hooked, diving headfirst into learning everything I could about capturing those perfect moments.
The Hustle
From 2018 to 2020, I was all over the place, covering around 50 weddings, doing family sessions, engagements, mini-sessions, etc. Each one was its own adventure, filled with unique love stories and crazy dance moves. I was living the dream, constantly on the move, and loving every second of it.
Pause Button: Life Happens
Then 2020 rolled around, right on the heels of a personal loss that shook my world—my dad passed away at the very end of 2019. Between navigating grief and the global pause brought on by COVID-19, my photography naturally took a backseat. During this unexpected break, life also threw in a beautiful twist: I had a baby. The whirlwind of emotions and new responsibilities meant my camera collected a bit more dust than I anticipated.
Oops... Restart?
When I finally felt the itch to get back behind the lens, I hit a major snag. My hard drive, which held all my work, decided it was time to retire. Just like that, years of memories and growth were inaccessible. Talk about starting from zero!
The Comeback
But here's the thing: starting over isn't always bad. It's like getting a clean slate but with the bonus of knowing what you're doing this time around. I'm seeing everything with fresh eyes and a bit more wisdom, ready to dive back into capturing those magical moments.
What’s Next?
So, what's on the horizon for me? A whole lot of exploring, learning, and, most importantly, shooting. The adventure of photography is that no two days are the same, and I’m all in for the ride.
To everyone who's been part of my journey and to those just hopping on, let's make some memories. I'm pumped to share this new chapter with you all through my lens. It’s going to be a wild ride, filled with laughs, maybe a few tears, and some unforgettable shots.
Thanks for sticking around. Let’s capture some magic together.
