Ellison Bynum-Hyman
"I love being involved in theatre, film, photography, and I love the outdoors. I live on a farm, so I enjoy taking photos of nature, horses, and my dogs. My sister has appeared in many of my photos as well. I am looking forward to this opportunity to further improve my photography by showcasing Bentonville’s unique community!"
Lee Bailly
"I love listening to music, spending time with my family and friends, and experiencing all of the awesome things that come with living in downtown Bentonville. I am very excited to learn more about social media content creation and gain more knowledge and experience while capturing the community and atmosphere that makes Bentonville such an amazing place."
Violet Bloomfield
"I love nature, art, animals, and all forms of storytelling. My little brother and sister have long been the subjects of my photography, but now I’m eager to capture moments in our beautiful city. Journalism will be a new, exciting experience for me, and I can’t wait to shine a spotlight on some of the amazing things happening locally!"
