Molly began her photographic journey with a tablet, capturing anything that caught her eye. What started as casual curiosity quickly evolved into a true calling after joining a photography club and receiving formal training. During this time, she realized photography was more than just a hobby—it was her life's passion.
In 2019, Molly earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Villa Maria College. The experience honed her visual sensitivity and deepened her understanding of the medium. She is committed to growth and storytelling, which led her to pursue a Master’s degree at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she continues to refine their craft. Molly earned a Master's in Fine Arts in 2025.
Photography is a constant presence in Molly’s life. Whether working on professional assignments or shooting for personal expression, she is rarely without a camera. Believing that no two life stories are the same, she finds narratives in even the smallest moments. Through portraits and candid scenes, she aims to reveal the authentic beauty and truth of each individual, capturing what makes each subject unique.
