FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I decided to become a photographer when I was a teenager. Honestly, I wanted to find my niche, since my brothers and sisters are such talented artists. I found using a camera was an easy way to show people the beauty I saw around me. I took all the photography courses in my high school until they had to create classes as independent study and pay for me to take a college class. I really loved using my camera when I traveled to other countries. I worked freelance for the Cambridge News shooting sporting events and for friends shooting weddings. I finally opened my own business in 2008 featuring weddings and child sessions. Then in 2011, I started teaching people how to use their own cameras. I love teaching just as much as I love taking pictures!
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I help people learn how to use their cameras, I shoot weddings and child, family, and high school senior sessions too. I also teach people how to edit their photos.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When you hire an instructor, you want someone who is friendly, willing to help you learn what you want to learn, and go where you want to go.
