How my journey began

Hi my name is Mikki McGarry. I was born in San Diego, CA. My parents moved to Charlotte, NC with my brother and I when I was only two years old. As a teenager, I vividly remember the day I picked up a camera for the first time. It was a simple point-and-shoot that my dad had lying around, collecting dust. Little did I know that moment would spark a passion within me that would last a lifetime. As I held the camera in my hands, I felt a rush of excitement and curiosity coursing through me. I started capturing the world around me, moments frozen in time, and with each click of the shutter, I discovered the power of storytelling through the lens. I spent countless hours experimenting with different angles, lighting, and compositions, eagerly learning and honing my skills. Photography has become more than just a hobby; it has become a part of who I am. It allows me to express my creativity, connect with others on a deeper level, and capture the essence of beauty in both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life. From that first camera in my hands as a teenager, my love for photography and videography has only grown, and I'm grateful for the passion it has ignited within me.
