“Hi! My name is Mia Howle and I am a freelance photographer based in Charlotte, NC.
Photography has always served as a great creative outlet and passion of mine. In January
2017, I decided to turn this passion into a career and explore the endless possibilities.”

“Throughout my childhood, my father instilled in me the value of perseverance and the
unwavering beauty of nature. He was given the nickname “Black Bear” by family and
friends, which serves as the inspiration for the name apBEARture photography. Although
he passed away when I was younger, these values and his memory have shaped my life. I
hope to continue to represent this in my life and through my work.”

“apBEARture represents the curious, strong-willed, and innovative person I am today!”
