Hey y’all, how’s it hanging I’m Mya. I’m photo editor (the best one lol). This is my second year and LAST, I’m so excited for this year. I can look intimidating and mad but never hesitate to ask me about something. In the springtime I play lacrosse. I have two dogs Ollie and Lucy, the little cuties. I love food and watching movies/tv shows. Capturing best moments in especially sports I think is the best part of taking photos. Have a lovely day, luv you all!
