Was liebst du an deinem Job?
I love capturing moments in time for others. When I photograph seniors, I know that they will always look back at their photos and remember that time in their life. When I take photos of families, I hope they can enjoy looking back at those moments when their kids were younger. I love meeting new people and being able to make connections. I have made so many friends over doing collaborations photo shoots through Instagram or through clients. I love feeling proud of my work. Even if I see flaws in photos, I take that as an opportunity to learn and grow. I love how there is always growth and change in photography. It makes it exciting! I love meeting fellow photographers and being able to connect and relate on that level.
Welche Shootings hast du schon gemacht und wie hast du sie besonders gemacht?
One shoot that I did that was very special and important to me was a project for my photography class my senior year of high school. I wanted to show what feminism means to me. I got a group of about 10 girls together and did a shoot with all of them in the studio at my house. I chose girls who were diverse and special to me. I captured different stories through the pictures. I had one photo where all the girls were wearing crowns and holding hands. That was meant to show that being a feminist is all about sisterhood. I took a photo of a girl in a graduation cap to show that women can be successful. Another showed two girls who were different races helping each other do their makeup. It was a very special photo shoot for me and for the women involved.
Other special ones to me are couple photos and family photos. Those are ones that I know they can look back on for years to come and I always feel honored to be a part of that. The best is when I get long thank you notes or when parents of seniors thank me and feel really grateful for the work I've done. That makes the hard work so worth it.
