Some people are born with talent and when it comes to photography, Milla Hershman of Portsmouth seems to have been blessed with a God-given gift.

Some people are born with talent and when it comes to photography, Milla Hershman of Portsmouth seems to have been blessed with a God-given gift.

The 13-year-old sent along these photos of images she's captured this summer and you'd be hard pressed to call them anything but professional quality.

"I am 13 years old and want to be a photographer. Everyone has to start somewhere so I thought I'd start by sharing a few of my photos with the Portsmouth Patch," she said in an e-mail message.

In return, we'd like to share her photos with the rest of the world. Because, as she said, everyone has to start somewhere. And we feel blessed we get the chance to be the first to share her work. And let's keep our fingers crossed for more.
