Meet Donna: Born to move the world to action

Hey boos! It's been a minute! Nine months to be exact…

During my hiatus, I was working on some exciting projects and I can’t wait to show you more!

I know there are a lot of you here that are new so let me introduce myself, or reintroduce myself to some of you.

 

My name is Donna, and I was born to move the world to action. I believe in the power of laughter, and lipstick. Most days I’m overly caffeinated, and mostly likely running late because I can’t remember where I put my keys.

I’m not perfect by any means, but I’m ambitious and centered. I’m living in my dream city and living my best life working as a photographer in New York City.

I believe in authentic and honest photography. I love to show people who they truly are. The thing I love best about my job is connecting with people. I love to watch people transform with each frame. They may start out apprehensively, but by the end of our time they’ve come into their own.

But for now, I’ll leave you with three things you may not know about me:

Number 1: I’m a bit of a nerd with a mischievous side. I’m known for sneaking into places where I have no invite or business being. I once set off an alarm in The Louvre and ran from some French guards. ( Haven’t been back to Paris since). Recently, I snuck into NYC fashion week. That was pretty fun, and I’ll tell you more about  that another time.

Number 2: I’m an extreme lover of houseplants. I can’t seem to stop buying them, but they make me happy. I love bringing the outdoors inside. Summers in New York City aren’t very long. I love that I’m creating my own little Central Park indoors.

Number 3: I’ve become sort of an activist this last year. I’ve been able to speak at various events this year regarding different social issues, and how they affect marginalized groups. In fact, I was even interviewed on the news in Salt Lake City, Utah last month.

Not just that, but to set it ablaze.

So that's it for now! My goal is to provide content that makes you think. Gives you hope, and inspires you to find the magic in your everyday. Here there is always a place for you. I love you, I see you, I honor you.

Tell me in the comments something I don’t know about you! What do you feel you were born to do? Or you can just tell me a random fact that's cool too!
