AAJ Photos

hi loves!! it’s me, the girl who’s usually behind the camera hyping you up & probably telling you to think about meeting your celebrity crush to make you smile.

today’s post is a little different. it’s more personal than i usually am on this account. 3 years ago, today, i said goodbye to my gpa after his long fight with cancer came to an end. as i hugged him for the last time, i promised myself that i would always follow my heart. here i am, 3 years later, living my dream to be a photographer like he was. he inspired me & i owe it all to him!

it took me about a year to get comfortable enough with my camera to start taking pictures of people but now i couldn’t imagine not doing it!! & while there have been a couple of times in the last 2 years that i’ve taken breaks & stepped back from photography to take care of myself & my mental health, my heart has ALWAYS come back in full swing ready to give it my all! i still have a lot of growth to get where i want to be but i am so proud of how far i have come & can’t wait to see what’s next!

i have met the sweetest people, have captured the most beautiful smiles & genuine love. i have received support more than i ever could’ve imagined. this is my dream. my heart. my passion. i love you all for believing in me & following me along my journey ❤

this is for gpa! i love you, thank you for this 🥲

(the first 2 “collages” are from 2019 and the rest are some recent photos) & ignore the low quality, facebook makes the photos super fuzzy for some reason 🙄
