🌸Dear Diary, I’m a mini photographer!🌸

Hello new world!!! 🥰🫂🥳 Well for starters this TikTok ban brought me here. So I thought why not showcase all of my hobbies and talents here. I’m just a young lady navigating her 20s who documents her life through pictures and short films. My Instagram is MVDELVIBES if you ever wanna check out my gallery. I shoot, edit, and film all by myself! I’m kind of super happy and excited. This can be a breath of fresh air! 💝💝💝

2025/1/17 Edited to

The art of photography is a delightful way to document life and share experiences. In today’s digital age, many young creatives, just like me, are exploring mini photography and utilizing platforms like Lemon8 to showcase their unique perspectives. Mini photography allows for creativity without the need for extensive equipment. One popular approach is smartphone photography, which has democratized access to capturing stunning images. With just a smartphone and basic editing apps, anyone can take beautiful photos. Many enthusiasts share tips on composition, lighting, and editing techniques that enhance visual storytelling. Additionally, fostering community is essential. Engaging on social media, joining photography forums, and participating in online challenges can elevate one’s skills and confidence. As I embark on this journey, I invite you to embrace your creative side and document your life’s journey through the lens of your camera! Let’s share ideas and grow together in this vibrant community.

Took a solo getaway to the mountains to unplug and sit with the thoughts I’ve been avoiding. As a creator I feel it’s important to show emotion behind the work. It’s okay to show all the great but sometimes your audience wants to see that you’re a real person with real emotions. That’s what make

Dear Diary! My most popular novella.

Louisiana in the 1940s was a tough time for many people of color! Slavery may have been over, but racism was still very much alive! Getting by as best you could with whatever you were given could be challenging! You’ll meet 11 years old Doris! She didn’t have much. But her imagination took her far!
