I started photography in high school by learning how to develop film and print photos in a darkroom for the school yearbook and newspaper... a long time ago! I photographed all friends and families who would let me which led to being hired to shoot events at local country clubs, golf courses, charity events, fashion shows, engagements, births, seniors, birthday parties, theatre performances, sporting events, headshots, and more.
So much has evolved over the years; I no longer develop photos in my darkroom, I edit in Lightroom. =)
