Hi! I’m Lia, 18 years old, and I’m slowly learning what it means to truly be myself. I’m far from having it all figured out — I overthink, I hesitate, and I don’t always follow through. But I’m growing. Every day, I try to let go of who I’m "supposed" to be and lean into who I really am — raw, stubborn, thoughtful, and a little odd. Photography is one of the ways I connect with people. Capturing unfiltered emotion through the lens helps me see the beauty in others — and in life itself. And then there’s music. I couldn’t live without it. It fills in the quiet spaces, speaks the words I can’t always say, and sometimes even gives me the answers I didn’t know I needed. I’m not sure who I’ll be years from now, but I know who I hope to become — someone brave enough to live unscripted, to keep exploring, to fall and get back up, again and again.
