My Why and Finding The Purpose in My Passion Growing up I never, not once, consider that I would grow up to have the career as a photographer. I was always a creative kid, making my own mix tapes on my cassette player, rearranging the furniture in my room making sure every inch of it had a little touch of Chantal. I was in cheerleader in High School and was always dreaming up new dances with close friends. I was that geek in year book in high school, so I was quite often with camera in hand, but photography was never something I dreamed I could do full time. Growing… Keep Reading

A Day in The Life of A Wedding Photographer Growing up I never had a real hard set idea of what I wanted to grow up to be. Some kiddos when you ask know they for sure want to be a doctor, a policeman, or a vet, but me I never really knew.
