i want to share how i started into photography. i'll try to keep it short and to the point. about 4 years ago my friend came to town and she had a digital SLR camera. we were both really into modeling and taking photos together. it was our thing we did every year. that's when i discovered my love for photography. i loved being behind the camera and taking portraits. (it helped that my best friend was totally meant to model, which made my job easier.)

i took one photography class my senior year in high school for my senior project. i bought my very own camera (started with a NikonD3000). i instantly fell in love... with photography. i'm not going to say i'm the most amazing photographer ever- nor did my photos look that great when i started out. but i yearned to learn more and grow. the rest is history. it's been 3 years since i started my photography business and i'm still learning so much! all i'm going to say is it took practice. lots and lots of practice.

my point is- don't give up. if you're wanting to become a photographer- go for it! if you're wanting to run a marathon- heck why not? (not saying i will ever do that) but all it takes is practice and a whole lot of wanting to succeed.
