ABOUT

It was only supposed to be a hobby. The camera was only bought to capture moments while traveling. Out of excitement I told a friend about my new camera and she was just as excited as I was. A couple weeks later that same friend told me she was going to be hosting an event but the photographer had cancelled. She asked if I would fill in. I respectfully declined - I didn't have any professional experience and I was not about to embarrass myself.

 

I ended up telling another friend about the offer and he encouraged me to take it. He said, "You have an eye for things and I think you'd do great." I thought about it, prayed about it, and decided to get out of my own way.

 

I called my friend and told her, I'd work the event. From that one event, I was hired for two other opportunities. And with my first three gigs, I was able to pay off my new camera and new lens. Grateful.

With the faith of some friends, faith in myself, and faith in His vision, I decided to turn this "hobby" into something more purposeful.
