Girl Behind the Camera
From the moment I picked up my first little red camera, I discovered a love for photography that developed into a passion for storytelling through digital media. I am based in Memphis, TN, and have grown up taking pictures! My goal is to capture real, candid moments! I see the world through the lens of my camera, always capturing the big and little moments! Whether it is a simple moment or my next big adventure, I never leave home without my camera!
