From the first time I picked up a camera, I knew it was something I would want to do as a career, Photography has always been a passion of mine since I was 14 years old. I always loved the idea of creating breathtaking, in-the-moment images that people would love and remember forever. Getting my Photography, Associates of Arts and Sciences degree through Des Moines Area Community College has helped me understand more about the camera and everything I need to be able to capture these beautiful images.
