I love to take pictures of others, I love to take pictures of myself and I love to take pictures of real moments etc. The first camera I received was the one my mom gave me. She had gifted it to me after I would always borrow it from her to take pictures of people and backgrounds. I’ve always been that girl that volunteers to take pictures of other people because I like to make people look good.
