I took a digital photo class in high school, but didn’t consider photography as a career until part way through college. I graduated high school in 2020, then started classes for an Associate of Arts degree that fall. In my last semester of that degree I was interested in learning more about photography and how to get started. In the summer of 2022 I began an internship with photographer Samantha Ponomarenko. I truly would not be where I am today without her. Samantha was the most amazing mentor and helped my business so much! In the fall of 2022 I began taking photography classes and filed my business license. I graduated in the spring of 2025 with an Associate of Photography degree. I have absolutely loved being a photographer and I’m so grateful for all the opportunities and experiences this job has given me.
On January 18, 2024 I had the amazing opportunity of being interviewed for the Canvas Rebel Magazine, for their Stories & Insights! Here is a link to the article.
