About Me!
Hello! It is so wonderful to meet you and welcome to my “About Me!” page. My name is Mary, and I am a content creator and dreamer.
I first fell in love with photography when I picked up my very first camera, a classic Sun 600 Polaroid. I was four years old, clicked a button, and saw a photo spit out and develop before my very eyes. It was mesmerizing and blurry. I didn’t know it then but I had a lot to learn.
Since then, I graduated with my bachelor’s in film production and management and my master’s in entertainment business, from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.
I continued to grow my passion for photography by photographing anything and everything. When I’m not behind a camera I can be found running my family’s local Ace Hardware Store and even then you are still likely to find me with a camera nearby.
