To be honest, I haven't always been a photographer, and if you had asked me 10 years ago, if I would be taking photos for a living, I probably would have given you a strange look.
Well, fast forward a bit, and here I am, living and breathing all things photography. It truly is my passion and if you ask anyone close to me, I always have a camera on me. 
Having worked in the creative field (Graphic Design) for the better part of my life, I think photography was just the natural evolution of my journey. I have always had a great creative eye, and I think photography allows me to embrace that fully.
