Hello and welcome to my photography page! As you may know, photography is my side hustle, or as I like to call it, passion project.

I have often been asked if I have a photography page, so after a lot of encouragement from all you friends, here it is! After learning about the craft from a friend of the family back when I was in high school (more years past than I care to admit), I fell in love with the art and have been learning more about it ever since.

A little piece of Sumter history with CheRenea Moye this week!

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, local community members took the stage to read the Declaration aloud. Cheryl brought both passion and flair to her reading.

A wonderful way to honor our nation’s founding and reflect on the words that helped shape America.
