Korie Lynn
Korie is currently residing in Houston, TX. Since graduating from ACU, Korie has been inspired by those who share her love for life. For her, capturing an image is much more than just the click of a button. Her experience and the desire to creatively tell stories is what motivate her. She is a wedding and lifestyle photographer, and loves her pets.
“I find enjoyment in everyday things, and I’m easily excited over the littliest things…like getting a new succulent for the house knowing full well that it’s not going to last. What can I say, I love the little guys but I can’t keep any plants alive! I like to stay optimistic and keep trying, they’re just adorable. I like to ensure life’s brief moments last as long as possible. And then some.”
