It's lovely to meet you.
Hi there, I'm Magnolia!
I'm a 19-year-old professional photographer, and this is my absolute life's dream! I had my first paid shoot in 2024, and I fall more in love with this art every single day. My heart was set on seeing the world through a camera ever since I picked up a National Geographic magazine as a little girl. Now, I get to do exactly that, photographing both the beauty of the world and the people who move through it.
I grew up in Alpharetta and now attend Georgia State University in Atlanta, where I'm working toward my Marketing degree with an art minor. Outside of photography, I love my friends and family, fashion, music, travel, museums, hiking, animals, the human mind.... I love all that life has to offer, and I bring that same curiosity into every session I shoot!
I can certainly direct you with posing and get that picture-perfect shot, but what I'm really searching for is the moment right after, when you look away from my camera and back at your loved one, out at the scenery around you, or settle into the feeling of your feet on the ground. I absolutely adore the exact second a dimple presses into your cheek, the warmth of your laughter I could feel through my screen, the way your hand traces absentmindedly through the grass. They're not the moments you'd think to capture in a photoshoot, but they're the ones that stay with you.
FUN FACTS!
- Despite my very southern name, I was actually born in Ohio! My parents named me Magnolia to keep me "connected to my Southern roots".
- I'm a Phi Mu sister!! LIOB!
- I met Clairo, one of my favorite musical artists, on a flight. Still can't believe that happened.
- I come from a huge family, step-siblings, extended family, all of it, and I wouldn't trade the chaos for anything.
- I have two Bengal cats: Miguel and Frankie!
- The first time I visited NYC, one moment stuck with me more than anything else on the trip. After dinner with my mom and sister, I was walking down the street singing "Super Rich Kids" by Frank Ocean. A stranger passed by, smiled wide, and sang along. I still think about that to this day!
Think we'd be a good fit? I'd love to hear from you.
