I grew up with a love of art and creating art. For a long time my passions were drawing and painting. My parents always fostered and nurtured my creativity and urged me to continue with my art. They always told me I could be whatever I wanted to be when I grew up, even an artist.
But there were too many things I wanted to try and do and see, so I struggled for a long time with finding myself and a path for life that would be happy. I have had many adventures along the way to where I am now.
Among them was my move to Chicago, IL to attend Harrington College of Design for a degree in Digital Photography. I graduated with an AAS in August of 2011. I was about to be turning thirty.
By this time I had spent several years away from my family, and when I graduated with my degree I decided to move back to Pennsylvania and cultivate my family relationships. I wanted my niece and nephew to know me, and I wanted to know them!
With bills needing to be paid, and struggling to find employment in my field near my family, I settled for a job outside of photography after four months. I threw myself into my new work, striving for success and advancement. I did advance quickly, and so I stayed with this company for four years. I was completely miserable working behind a desk for eight hours a day.
I am no longer with that company, and have set out to launch my photography business: Karmic Images this May 2016. I am excited and freaked out to be giving this a go. I love photography. I love food. I love to travel and have adventures. I love my boys and my family.
This blog is where I will keep my story of trying to live life to the fullest and not starve in the process of starting my business. I hope you'll tag along for the ride!
