Euphoria Photography

My friend, Chelsea. :)

I started photography less than a year ago, on Thanksgiving to be exact. My younger cousin and I were bored, so I asked if I could take some pictures of her and she let me.

We had a lot of fun taking pictures and exploring the area, but I wasn't expecting to get anything great out of my pictures. We were just playing around, having fun. Later that night when I uploaded her pictures, I loved them. Her mom fell in love with them, also. I personally thought I captured her personality perfectly, and this is what made me fall in love with photography.

Since then I've been having my friends model for me and I quickly improved. Now, at seventeen years old, I'm even being hired to take senior pictures! This is something I really enjoy, and I plan on going professional. So far everything I know, I learned on my own, but I'm getting a mentor soon, and I can't wait to learn from a professional! :)
