Now, I'm offering the guidance I wish I'd had when starting out. I remember exactly what it feels like to be at the beginning of this journey. So many feelings like excited, overwhelmed, and full of questions. I started with nothing but a camera and a dream, figuring things out through trial and error until years and mentors helped light my path forward. Helping fellow photographers grow isn't just something I do. It's something I truly love. There's nothing more rewarding than watching someone's confidence and skills blossom after we work together. Many of my mentees have become dear friends and colleagues I still collaborate with today. My approach combines practical advice with genuine encouragement because this industry thrives when we support each other. I'll share not just what worked for me, but also the mistakes I made so you can move forward with confidence.
