Colorado has brought so many opportunities into my life that I truly never imagined possible.
When we first found out we were moving here, one of the very first things I did was look up how far away one of my favorite photographers, Shannon McTighe, lived. When I realized she was only about 3 hours away, I immediately booked a session with her.
But it didn’t stop there. Last December, I had the opportunity to attend a shootout with Shannon and Brittany Rose, and it was absolutely magical. I left feeling inspired, motivated, and hungry to continue growing in this industry.
This weekend, I finally took another big step and invested in a 1-on-1 mentorship with Shannon. I learned so much about photography, creativity, business, and myself as an artist, and I truly cannot wait to pour everything I learned back into my own business and clients’ experiences.
What I’m most thankful for, though, is the relationships this journey has brought into my life. Photography has not only helped support my family financially, but it’s also connected me with incredible clients, friendships, and mentors that I’ll cherish forever.
I’m leaving this weekend feeling so inspired, so grateful, and more excited than ever for what’s ahead. 🤍
