I’ve recently been offering some mini portrait shoots for this coming fall and it made me look back at some of the shoots that I’ve done over the years and as a way to advertise that I’m doing portraits I figured it would be fun to share some.

Looking back at some of the old portrait shoots that I’ve done also made me realize how long I have been doing photography. I can still remember getting a point and shoot digital camera for graduating high school in 2008. Sadly, that camera didn’t last for too long since I accidentally left it on the roof of a car and didn’t realize until I was miles down the road and the camera smashed into many pieces. From there my love of photography grew while I was in college shortly after and I signed up for a photography course. I bought my first entry level dslr and kit lens. I remember that I came from more of a digital imaging/graphic design background and would use photoshop for editing, but my professor turned us onto using Adobe Lightroom, which I think helped me approach photography in a better way. Fast forward about 15 years and I can look back at all kinds of photography that I’ve shot and it excites me to keep pushing and creating new photos. I also recently passed my small UAG Cert which will allow me to use drones for commercial work, which is another thing that excites me about the future.
