I've had the love for photography for as long as I can remember. My grandpa taught black and white film photography years ago at Diamond Bar High School. He was also a wedding photographer for many years. Growing up there are countless memories of him calling the grand kids outside to take photos. And we loved it. When I was in middle school I got to take a summer school class at Diamond Bar with my cousin. I learned so much from my grandpa in that class, most importantly I learned to appreciate the art of photography at a young age. And that I am very thankful for.

 There is nothing like developing your own pictures in the dark room. I remember the smell of the chemicals, and I remember spending so much time there trying to perfect just one photo. Since that class I have experimented with different styles and taking different courses. In high school I took digital photography and my teacher let us do pretty much whatever we wanted...and that's when things got really fun! Photography will always have a special place in my heart. It makes me so so happy.

This was an assignment where we had to copy a picture from a magazine article. We were able to create it with our own feel of course, but it's still one of my favorite studio shots from that year. 

Plus, sunflowers make me think of California.
