Let me introduce myself…

They say some people are born with a passion that whispers to their soul. For me, that whisper was photography - and it started ridiculously early. As a toddler, I wasn't flipping through children's books. I was mesmerized by the glossy pages of National Geographic and Vogue, drinking in every single image with wide eyes. Something inside me just knew: this was my calling.

But knowing and doing? Those are two very different things.

My path wasn't a straight line. Far from it. I started as a photojournalist, hunting down stories at music festivals and concerts. Back then, the idea of wedding photography? Absolutely not my scene. My friends would suggest it, and I'd laugh. Me? Shooting weddings? No way.

Then life did what life does - it surprised me.

An old friend asked me to photograph their wedding. Their partner had seen my recent concert photography and music interview work, and something about my eye convinced them I was the right person. Reluctantly, I agreed.

And wow. Just... wow.

I fell in love - not just with wedding photography, but with the entire experience. It was like discovering a magical blend of everything I adored: the storytelling of photojournalism, the aesthetic precision of fashion photography, and the pure, raw emotion of art. I could be creative. I could connect with people. I could tell stories.

Fast forward to now, and I've photographed hundreds of weddings, events, baptisms, and editorial shoots. My work has graced the pages of Cosmopolitan, Time, SELF, People, PopSugar, and BBC. Sometimes I look back and want to hug my younger self, to show her everything that was waiting.

But here's the real truth: I'm just getting started.

Despite the publications, despite the years of experience, I know I have so much more to learn. Photography isn't just a job for me - it's a continuous journey of growth, of seeing the world in new ways, of capturing moments that will become memories.

My promise to myself? I will always strive for more. Always push my boundaries. Always remain a student of my craft.

To every young photographer out there dreaming: your path won't be linear. It might not make sense right now. But if you stay curious, stay passionate, and stay open - magic happens.

Here's to the journey.

Being a photographer is like being a professional time traveler.

I freeze moments that would otherwise vanish forever - the laugh that crinkles someone's eyes, the tear that falls silently, the spontaneous dance move nobody saw coming. Some people collect memories. I collect moments.
