While I am in high school, owning and operating my own business has taught me essential lessons of maturity, punctuality, marketing and customer service. Being in high school is a massive advantage for me as a creative. Not only am I a teenager, but I am also a teenager who loves trends! I love following trends and being in the know about the current vibe of the world! This benefits my skills because I am a like-minded individual with clients with an image similar to what I would want for my personal senior session! 

i'm just a girl, striving to live like jesus and supporting my peers in learning photography

My free-time is spent doing, community service, yearbook duties and church activities.

I enjoy emphasizing the colors in my subjects' features, personal style and surroundings. My photography is intentional from symbolism unique to each client, location scouting, outfit support, and shot curation based on the photoshoot/event. My priority is creating images that allow you to relive each moment as it was, whether you're a graduating senior, a mama to be, or it is one of the most important days of your life like- your wedding day. 

this is also present in my photography style

In case you couldn’t tell, I am a huge fan of sun and color. 

It all started when I developed a keen interest in yearbook and its various aspects. I have always been passionate about photography, but yearbook taught me skills that I had never learned before, and it helped me improve the quality of my work. I have made many friends and learned a great deal of things in the process. As a member of the yearbook team, I was assigned pages and took pictures for them. If you are a high school student interested in pursuing something similar, I recommend joining yearbook. Trust me, it is a very rewarding experience!

Being a part of my high school's yearbook staff has been my whole inspiration behind starting my own business

I owe the creation of HCM Photos to my time in yearbook.
