Piercing warmth though the dark.

Not the best shot. It has simply come to symbolize my current journey. I am making my transition into full time camera work. Like the image there is death. As the leaves fall so does my old career and lifestyle change. It is a dark and frightening journey through the darkness of the woods. Winter is approaching. Just as there will be hard times in my near future. However, the sun shines to offer warmth and guidance. A bright light to follow into spring and my new life.
I'm still very much a novice. My camera recently broke. I have been borrowing an 80d. It does help me to learn. Though my dslr knowlwdge is limited. I began shooting on a Sony mirrrorless.

It was for a dance studio. It went wonderfully. And my passion for storytelling was set a blaze. I am so happy with a camera in hand. Even when only using my phone, I have this feeling that I am doing what I was meant for. There is no aspect I dislike. I will often sit down to quickley edit a few shots, the next thing I know... I've been on my laptop for 8 hours. I just opened this account. I will get some photos up as soon as I can. I want to thank everyone who views my work. I am not even close to the level most of you are. Yet all I have received from my peers is positive and reassuring. My current business is full of backstabbers who offer no guidance. All from fear I would become competion. With the photography and film world. Everyone shares tips and offer support I never expected. It is truly the life and career I've always be meant for. So thank you all so very much. The welcoming I've gotten is great. Freezing beautiful moments and snagging a good shot. Nothing but my kids has ever made me feel so great about the choice ive made to see this throug.
