Hello there everyone !
I figured I get my foot in, in some kind of photography forum so I can help my art.
I joined to learn from others, find answers, network, share my work, and view others' work as well.
I don't expect everyone to read this, but I feel like I should make a proper introduction.
Let me start off with my name...
My name is Kayce (kc) I am twenty-one years old. I have two children, Kaihri(2 years old) and Kaihsyn(1 month old).
I am practically married (just not officially lol) I have been with my partner for over three years now.
I have recently decided to be a stay at home mother, I feel that it is my duty to be there for my children and be the
one to raise them and not some daycare or other relative. I last worked as lead counter at Panda Express (my first
actual job). I was born in the Philippines. But lived in America since I was two years old.
I grew up in Seattle but now I currently reside in the valley of Puyallup, WA with my family.
I first started in photography during my sophomore year of high school. I didn't sign up for any electives so I was
put into beginner's photography. The teacher, seemed like a total um...how you say..not my favorite teacher. I wasn't
thrilled to be in the class, but I figured to give it a go since I was so vain at the time, I carried my little sony-cybershot
every where with me to take selfies and capture moments with my friends, I thought I could use the tips.
When I started paying attention in class, I was interested, I loved it. I loved viewing the work produced by functions of cameras that I had no idea existed.
Junior year, I was signed up for Advanced Photography, feeling pretty awesome that I decided to continue. My teacher (same from the previous year), I warmed up to. I actually think I became
one of his more preferred students. When we were checking out cameras for the trimester, most of the students got some bulky canon point and shoot with manual mode. I don't recall what
type of camera it was. As for me, I got to borrow one of the two dslr's available for students. It was a Canon XSi. I was so obsessed with photography, I begged my parents and relatives
to invest in a dslr for me. That never happened...totally knew it was a long shot for how much just an entry-level dslr would be for just sixteen year old me. I began to be inspired by my photography
teacher, he praised my work, and it made me confident that one day I could do something with it.
As for Senior year, I was not able to take photography class because I had to finish up my credits for graduation. That's when the flame died out, I figured because I had a lame point and shoot, I
couldn't take beautiful photos. I just fantasized about the day I would be able to pay for a dslr on my own.
Fast forward to now, I was inspired by my children and my new found role as a stay at home mom to invest into some photography equipment. Now that I am an adult, I had a credit card to help me
take the blow off the finances of funding this hobby, which I hope to make a career out of. I tried college, majored in psychology, bombed it. I just didn't have the drive for it. I feel that I am equipped
with entry-level lenses and camera to start me into this world. Everyday I am researching techniques and watching youtube videos to help me learn more. I wanted to reconnect to what I've learned
during the classes I took in high school. I am working on a portfolio with all kinds of different photography to help share my work with others so they are willing to work with me. I am interested in
portrait photography mostly, couples, children, and maternity. I have not found my specialty and I hope to discover it.
I hope to make my own business with photography, I dream of the day to be my own boss.
I swear I am not meant to work under someone for the rest of my life.
With that said, I look forward to being a part of this forum and growing as a photographer.
