Oh man about me pages are so freaking hard! I never know what to say or where to start, but here we go!

Hi! I am Bessie!

I am a mama of 2 beautiful babies, a mama of 4 fur babies, obsessed with coffee, love photography, have been trying to learn gardening, and basically love to do anything outside.

I grew up in the small town of Sonora California. I always loved photography, but I fell into the trap of listening to what society told me to do and not listening to my heart. I went to school, got my B.S. degree in Geomatics Engineering, got a career at a corporate job where I worked 12 hours a day in a cubical, meanwhile always thinking about being a photographer and running my own photography business.

As thankful as I am that I was fortunate enough to be able to go to school and get that day job, I also just wanted to take photos. One day I just decided, well why the heck not?! So, I dove right in and started a side hustle.

Well 9 years later that side hustle has become one of my biggest passions. I am obsessed with photography, helping others learn photography, and helping photographers and creatives start their photography business.
