I’m happy to finally post here. I created this account, made some promising connections, and then prompty got busy with the demands of work and university classes.

I have more free time now and am excited to be back. I’ve enjoyed taking graduation pictures for friends and am looking forward to expanding my skills, having fun, and meeting models, photographers, and other creative people.

Welcome and hope it exceeds your expectations but that does require active participation .
