i like birds.

I've been into photography for about 15 years now (I'm 30 despite the otherwise grandmotherly tendencies). I grew up in the portrait photography world to get myself through college. I worked in a formal portrait studio for about 4 years. I've done several weddings, newborn photography, and online stock photo photography. So for a long long time, photography was work and not a creative outlet. Over COVID I finished my masters' landed a "real job" and didn't need the side hustles to pay bills anymore. I put down my kit and didn't touch it until summer 2024 when my friends took me out on a birding trip. I realized how much I missed the artistry of photography and that corporate life has kept me tired and inside.
