My name is Priscila. I’m a simple girl who tries to find beauty in all things big and small. I live in Springfield, IL. I tend to think of photography as a way to freeze the moments we all wish we could hang onto longer. This is partly why I have always had an affinity for photos and why, even as a kid, I carried around a little film camera with me everywhere clicking and snapping pictures of basically everything! I’m so grateful and thankful to get the opportunity to be a photographer and I would be delighted to be a part of capturing beautiful moments in your life too. The role I play really is a small part because, after all, the beauty is in you, I just try to freeze it, so you can frame it, share it and cherish it.
