As for many of us, Covid changed the trajectory of my life. I was planning on going back for my second year with the Oklahoma dance company-  literally had all of my boxes moved into my apartment and my parents about to head back home- and as much as I wanted to stay, it just didn't feel right. I can remember feeling so confused and frustrated on the drive back to Tennessee, yet somehow I had this unexplainable peace deep inside. Months later I began following photographers on Instagram and soon realized that it didn't just have to be a hobby; that I could actually do this for a living. I upgraded my camera, invested in education courses and mentorships, and began to second shoot weddings as I fell more and more in love with capturing memories.
