Photography started for me when I was in grade 5 when I got my first iPod. At that point it was silly pictures of me and my friends or sun sets, but I was always frustrated with lack of vibrance I got with my iPod. In grade 9 my grandpa gave me my first ever Canon DSLR. I began to take walks, taking pictures of everything and anything that caught my eye. My camera came with me on car rides, to family events, and to high school. This was the spark of my love for environmental and lifestyle photography. I have learned a lot since then and am continuing to grow. As I expand my portfolio and try new types of photography, I am proud of what I do and know this is what I am meant to do.
