When I was 10 years old I staged photographs of my nephews laying in fall leaves and had a photoshoot of them. I remember being so excited to show their parents, who were always too busy to capture these sweet moments. I enjoyed the feeling it gave me when I saw how in love with these photos they were. I grew a love for taking pictures of my nieces and nephews and sharing them with their parents. Whenever I babysat kids I made it a goal of mine to capture great pictures to send to their parents. I always have had a  love of filling others with joy, and photography is one of the simplest ways I can do it. 

Throughout middle school and high school, I consistently annoyed my friends by wanting to take pictures. I loved going on photoshoots on the beautiful Island I grew up on and taking cute photos. I heard a few complaints from my high school friends of  "all you wanna do is take pictures". The process of getting ready for pictures, capturing them, downloading them, picking out your favorites, editing them, and sharing them is very fun. I learned that although I love having my picture captured, especially with my daughter, I feel the most joy when I am capturing beautiful moments for others to cherish forever.
