Thalia, 18 years old, VA

Thalia has always found beauty in the little things, capturing sunrises, candid moments with friends, and unexpected bursts of color wherever she goes. Having lived in many different homes while in foster care, she has learned to adapt to change while holding onto her creativity, humor, and hope for the future. She dreams of becoming a photographer who can tell meaningful stories through her work. As she builds her life on her own, photography gives Thalia a way to preserve the moments that matter and see beauty even during difficult times.
