Although photographer Deanna Dikeman always enjoyed photography, it took some time before she was able to call herself a professional.

Five years into her job, she took a leave of absence, signed up for a photography class, and decided to stick with it. “It was the first thing I found where I didn’t care what time of day it was,” Dikeman said. “I didn’t care if I missed lunch.
