How I Got Here: Part 3

So lets rewind here a second. If I never wanted to be a photographer, and lets be honest cheerleading wasn’t going to get me far; what was my plan? Well remember that tid-bit about my mom being a petsitter, and that I was always raised with X number of dogs around. Well boy did that […]
