For my first part of assignment 3, I chose to continue with shooting photo’s of more animal wildlife, since the 6-feet apart thing doe not apply as much when it comes to animals.. Plus when going for walks, I came across a lot of cute squirrels. The photo of the deer was actually taken during the JRN 521 Zoom call last Monday! There were 5 of them just chilling in our backyard.
The second portion of YC 3 is a compilation of what life has been like during this quarantine season. I wanted to capture the feeling of “emptiness” and “abandonment” to the city of Mount Pleasant.

Just your typical 27 year old from Traverse City, Mi.
I have my associates in Liberal Arts and Science from Northwestern Michigan College and received my bachelors in Photojournalism at Central Michigan College.
As you may tell, photography is my lifelong passion. Ever since I was a child, there was a camera in my hand. My favorite moments to capture are lives breath taking moments from environmental shots to senior photos.
