I got my first phone when I was 12, it just so happened to have the "portrait" mode. Let me tell you I wore that sucker out, I took pictures of everyone and everything!! For Christmas that year I asked for a professional camera. My parents who have done nothing but support me, got me a Nikon Coolpix. I took that thing everywhere with me! I started taking pictures of my siblings games and I soon realized I needed a better camera! My dear friend Dj so graciously lent me her Nikon D3100. That was the camera that truly started it all! Fast Forward to Christmas of 2025, I wanted a better camera and was prepared to buy it myself but again my amazing parents beat me to it! Now I shoot with a Nikon D7500. It's my pride and joy! So whether its the sideline of a game or the edge of the field I am happy to capture moments and memories and freeze them in time!
