My name is Emmanuel, and I am a proud graduating senior at Bladensburg High School.

I am crowdfunding to grow my photography business, which is what I had been dreaming of since I was a young boy assisting my aunties, and uncle, take photographs after church. Little did I know at the time that these moments were just the beginning of my future. In high school, I took Graphic Design, Editing, and Photography 1 and 2 classes to delve deeper into mastering my craft and hoping to take my hobby professionally.

Photography is now a lifestyle, not just a trade. It's the way in which I share stories, joy, and stay engaged in and with memories. It has also become a way for me to give back to my family, especially after I lost my grandmother — who I loss on my Birthday. My grandmother was a light and love in my life, and I want to share that joy with a world through a lens.

With your help and support I can reinvest in upgrading my equipment, developing my business and do the very things I am passionate about , which is making a moments that matter.

Your gift to support me is not just money. It is faith in a young entrepreneur's vision and a way to help me carry.
