I fell in love with personal development at an early age. I was at the library one summer in middle school when I came upon the book, How to Be Happy All the Time by Paramahansa Yogananda. After reading that book, I was sold. Little middle schooler me was fascinated with all things self-improvement and I never stopped loving it. I became obsessed with psychology in high school when I took an AP Psych class and got my Bachelor’s in Psychology at Portland State University. I was certain that I wanted to be a Counselor specializing in grief to help people who’ve lost loved ones. But fast forward to me graduating and even being accepted into a Master’s of Clinical Psychology Program and I suddenly wasn’t so sure that I wanted to be a Counselor. I withdrew from the program one month before it started and wandered around aimlessly until I found photography. I’ve been doing photography for the past couple of years and love that I get to interact with people and document their love stories for a living. That combined with this blog has really created the perfect combination of things I want to be doing with my life.
