Publisher's Synopsis
Maggie's love for photography started long before she could even spell the word. It all began with her Papa Steve Stoll-a kind, patient man with a camera always hanging around his neck. Wherever he went, he carried it with him, capturing the beauty of the world one click at a time.
To Maggie, Papa Steve wasn't just a photographer. He was a storyteller, a memory-keeper, a magician who could freeze a single moment and make it last forever. From the time she was little, she would sit beside him, watching in awe as he framed each shot with care. He would smile and say, "A good picture isn't just about what you see, Maggie-it's about what you feel."
As soon as Maggie was old enough to hold a camera, her Papa would place one in her tiny hands and began teaching her everything he knew. At first, her pictures were simple-blurry flowers, crooked trees, a lopsided shot of the family dog. But her Papa never stopped encouraging her. And with every lesson, every adventure, Maggie's passion for photography grew.
She didn't know it then, but those early moments with her Papa would shape the rest of her life. One photograph at a time, Maggie's journey had begun-a journey that would take her around the world, capturing love, life, and the beauty of fleeting moments.
This is the story of how a little girl, inspired by her Papa, followed her dreams and found her place behind the lens.
