Were you brand new to photography at the time? Had you had experience? How did that go about?

Yeah, I was brand new to photography.

I really did not have much experience at all when I picked up a camera.

I actually wasn't trained formally, but I built a career, an early career in video.

My dad was a video producer growing up.

My mom owns a gift company with my sister, Moda Gifting in Brunswick, Ohio.

So I grew up around a creative field and Growing up in a creative field, you oftentimes, one, you want to do something completely different than your parents.

What would you say is the most common mistake new photographers make and how can they fix it?
