Welcome! I don't want to bore people in my bio with the story of how I started in photography, but it's a great story for a blog post. My brothers and I got cheap kid cameras for Christmas one year. Those didn't last long :) Then we got a slightly more expensive (still less than $100 I'm pretty sure) camera that we all shared. It was creatively called "The Kid Camera". In 2014, my family was going on a trip across the country to the Grand Canyon. This is a once in a lifetime trip. You need a camera capable of taking good pictures. The Kid Camera wasn't going to cut it. Neither was our current family camera - a point and shoot. So for Christmas 2013, I asked for a camera. A real camera. A FujiFilm Finepix. It wasn't a DSLR, but it had pretty impressive zoom. I didn't know how to use a camera like that, so for the majority of the time I owned it, I was using automatic mode. Which is fine. Sitting on the third-base side, all the way at the top, I could zoom in to this view. Pretty awesome, right? I really was enjoying taking pictures and I was thrilled (still am) with the ones I got on our trip. At some point, I started thinking, "maybe this is what I want to do with my life." There were a lot of attractive things:
What began as an answer to satisfy the curious became a passion and dream. I share about the Image Bearers name under the tab of the same title, but Image Bearers is what turned this into something more than a job. It made it a ministry. I want to make money, but I want to serve more. There is an amazing book entitled Called To Create that drove home what was sort of cemented in my mind, but now it's firmly there. I highly recommend the book to any and everyone. This is about so much more than photographs and money. It's about people. So there you have it. A little back-story on how and why you're here today reading about a photographer named Sarah. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you consider coming along on this journey with me. Blessings, Sarah
