Photography has been a hobby of mine since I was roughly 3 or 4 years old. My Nana used to let me take her point-and-shoot outside, and I would spend hours snapping photos of whatever I found interesting. At 12 years old, a friend submitted a picture of mine to a contest without telling me, and it won (I got an Instagram shout-out and an ego boost as an award). Since then, I have studied photography at a tech school, where I discovered my love for portraiture. I haven't been able to make it a major part of my college career, but I still love it!
