The woman behind the lens
With over ten years of experience behind a professional camera,
my love for taking photos over time has only grown immensely! I started out as that friend that would carry around a point-and-shoot camera in middle and high school, documenting everything my friends and I did. Then, I was asked by my English teacher to join my high school’s yearbook staff, where I first learned how to work a professional DSLR camera. I was absolutely STOKED when I got my own from my parents as a gift in 2011! In 2013, I began college at Purdue University, and took some photos of my friends with my “fancy” camera from time to time. But, admittedly, it was never anything I took as seriously as I should’ve. I mean, I lived in a house with a ton of other young women…imagine the potential clientele there 🤣
After graduating college, I saw a ton of creatives in my area collaborating, making amazing artwork and posting it to Instagram. I wanted to reach out to local models to build a portfolio and gain more experience, but was just too shy to do so. The social aspect was super daunting to me! During the extraordinary mess that was 2020, I finally said screw it! And leapt for my first TFP photoshoot with a local model in November of that year. Since then, I have worked with literally hundreds of models in SO MANY states and gotten my work published in dozens of magazines across the globe!
