My interest in photography sparked when I was young(er) as I watched my dad photograph everything around him. I got my first camera when I was 8 years old, and from the first moment it was in my hands, I couldn't put it down.
I photographed everything from bugs to people to Beanie Babies, filling shoeboxes with negatives and little 3x5 prints. After creating "backdrops" on notebook paper with crayons and markers for each of my Beanie Babies for full-on photo shoots, I knew photography would be a part of my life forever. (Seriously)
