When I first started my photography journey, I slapped the tagline "Learning As I Go, Loving Every Minute" on my website, social media, and hashtags. Back then, it was my safety net. I was new, self-taught, and diving headfirst into capturing life’s moments in Southern Maine—portraits, weddings, families, you name it. I wasn’t the best in the industry, and I knew it. That tagline was my way of saying, “Hey, I’m figuring this out, so bear with me!” It gave me wiggle room to grow, a bit of grace for not being perfect, and a reminder to enjoy the ride.

Years later, that same tagline means something completely different. Now, when I say “Learning As I Go, Loving Every Minute,” it’s not an excuse—it’s a badge of honor. It’s a nod to the late nights spent teaching myself how to chase natural light, the countless moments I’ve captured that tell real, unposed stories, and the joy of growing alongside my clients. Being self-taught isn’t a limitation anymore; it’s my strength. It’s what makes my work raw, heartfelt, and uniquely mine.

This tagline also keeps me grounded. No matter how many sessions I shoot or how many stories I tell through my lens, there’s always more to learn. There’s a new angle to try, a fleeting expression to catch, or a better way to connect with the people in front of my camera. That’s what I love most about photography—it’s a journey without a finish line. It's a reminder to let go of the notion of "perfect" and finding freedom knowing I’m still learning as I go, and I’m loving every single minute of it.

Thanks for joining me on this ride. Here’s to capturing more moments, telling more stories, and growing together.
