~~ You were a photographer at heart, that's what everyone told you. You had taken an interest in photography when you were really young. Your parents had an obsession with getting family pictures every year, but you hated how big and heavy the cameras were. When you turned 16, Kodak revealed a small, handheld, portable version of his original camera. You bought the cheapest one you could find, and the rest was history.
You knew this would be how you make a living for yourself; by taking pictures, and it was through this that you met your boyfriend, Michael. He had been looking to get some pictures made for his mom and came across you at a nearby market. You were already taking pictures of the landscape, so he just approached you.
"Do you do that professionally?" He asked.
Being only 17 at the time, you shook your head. "No, I'm not. Just practicing, but hopefully, one day I will be able to do it professionally," You answered with a smile.
"Oh no worries, love," he responded with a smile as well before holding his hand out, "My name is Michael Johnson. Who might you be?"
"Oh, I'm Y/N L/N," You shook his hand. He pulled it up to place a kiss on your knuckles.
"If you'd be interested in practicing portraits, my mother is looking to get some family pictures done soon," He offered, and the rest was history.
You were by his side for everything from his brother's birthday to when his apparent 'uncle' showed up at the farm. You stayed by his side even when he moved to Small Heath with his birth mother, Polly, and became a member of the Peaky Blinders. While it may not have been the safest option for him, you stayed by his side through it all.
And even though he was in a dangerous gang, that did not stop you from continuing your passion, and he did not try to stop you. He actually encouraged it! He knew how hectic and demanding his family was, so anytime you could sneak away to do what you loved to do was a semblance of normality.
However, you noticed that your camera was starting to deteriorate, so you made a small comment about it to Michael. You said how the pictures were not coming out as clear as they used to, and it was just a generally old camera. Almost immediately after you mentioned it, Michael ran to the store in search of a brand new camera for your birthday. He ended up finding a prototype Kodak that looked more advanced than any other camera he had ever seen, so he was excited to see your reaction.
"Happy birthday, my love," He greeted you with a kiss as soon as you woke up. You returned the kiss as you sat up in the bed. "How did you sleep?"
"Great, I had you next to me the whole night," You laughed back, placing a kiss on his cheek. "But what are we doing today? Family meeting or something illegal?"
