Hello! My name is Emily Pierson, and I've always enjoyed taking pictures. I got my first little camera when I was 8 and I used it till it stopped working. My grandmother inspired me to start taking photos as she enjoyed it too. I mostly take pictures of nature, but I would love to do more portraits of people. I love hearing ideas from others and getting opinions on how to make a photo better. I love being able to show people what they could be missing out on in life with just a simple photograph. I believe photos tell us a story some for entertainment and some to inform us. I live by the sayings "You're never promised tomorrow" and "Don't take things for granted" these are also what I think about when taking photos.
