Before I began working with paying clients, I focused on building knowledge of the inner workings of my camera and practicing to establish a good portfolio to share with clients. In the past year I have also competed in multiple photography contests. In regional 4H, I won in  two categories; barns & equipment and landscape (pictures above) I also competed at the regional and state level for HOSA in Health Career Photography. I placed 2nd at the regional level and 8th in the state (pictures below).
