I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I grew up and lived in Sarasota, Florida for 20 years of my life, until I decided to move to Hollywood for no real reason other than I had visited it with my friends and decided I loved it. It was probably the best thing I could have ever done because its there that I realized my passion for photography, along with meeting some pretty amazing people. Living in L.A. I felt like I was really finally living, and it made me come into myself. Unfortunately my family was still back a few thousand miles from me and while maybe they were part of the reason I left in the first place, I found out it wasn't so easy being THAT far away. That is why I am now in Nashville, which has allowed me to start school for photography and get everything figured out until I can afford to return back to Los Angeles...and kidnap my little sister in the process.
