When I was younger, I loved scrapbooking and flipping through old photo albums. I never got tired of looking at the same photographs over and over because I knew they held so much meaning. My parents kept all of our photos in a dresser drawer in their bedroom, and I went through that drawer at least once a week. I didn’t realize it then, but I know now that photography has always meant the world to me.

The truth is, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. If you had told me when I was younger that I’d grow up to be a full-time wedding photographer, I would’ve laughed and told you that you were nuts.

But here’s the thing… I truly believe that what is meant for us always finds its way to us. Photography found me. It found me at a time when I needed it the most, a time when I didn’t know what I was going to do. I can feel it in my bones that I was meant to be doing this, but growing up I had no idea. Now more than ever, it is clear to me that everything’s exactly where it needs to be.
