I have managed the social media for my photography business since the start. My social media began as a creative outlet for me to post pictures I took and edited on my iPhone. Then it evolved into my official page for my photography business which began in the summer of 2022. I bought my first camera with the help of my parents and began taking pictures of anyone and everyone for free to build my portfolio.

One of the biggest game-changers for me has been the Airtable spreadsheet I created with my boyfriend. It serves as my Creator Studio, allowing me to track analytics, map out strategies, and run my business seamlessly as a content creator. Read more>>
