About

I am a photographer & videographer specializing in social media content creation and video editing — based in Arkansas.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Filmmaking from the University of Central Arkansas in December 2019, and established my business, Payton Perkins Creative, in 2024.

From 9-5, you can find me creating content for my amazing clients. After hours, you’ll either find me squished between my two golden retrievers, gardening, cooking, or indulging in my favorite hobby, landscape and travel photography.
