Hey hey hey! I am so excited to share this one with you. Morgan is a 20 year old photographer based in my home town, Erie Pennsylvania! This girl is such a hustler who has always had a passion for photography. When she was younger it was more of an admiration for photographs until she picked a camera up. After that she knew that it was her calling and something she wanted to do as long as she can.
As I was reading through her answers I came across one that spoke to me. Morgan said, “Small accomplishments to other people can be large accomplishments to you. Don’t let anyone else’s standards hold you back!” Uh this spoke so much truth, because we sometimes lets our achievements be chosen by other people. When it has nothing to do with them and everything to do with you. You worked hard, it’s an accomplishment worth celebrating!
I’m so excited to share this girl’s answers :

Q: Who is your biggest inspiration?
A: ” My mom. She passed away from cancer in 2015 and she taught me so much. My mom always made sure I knew how important it was to always be myself and to do what I love. She pushed me to chase my dreams and to open my arms up to everything life can offer. She taught me that strength isn’t defined by how much you can lift, but by how you handle situations thrown at you. ”
