Being a mother and a former teacher has shaped me in so many beautiful ways, especially when it comes to my passion for photography. My journey in film photography started in my art classes at university and brought a unique lens to my life, capturing fleeting moments that tell the rich stories of everyday existence. I remember the excitement of teaching my students not just about subjects, but about seeing the world through appreciation and wonder. That same thrilling joy spills into my photography.

Every time I snap a photo of my children or friends' families, I'm struck by the beauty in the simplicity—laughter shared on a sunny afternoon or a tender hug at sunset. These everyday moments are gold, and I thrive on freezing them in time. As my family grows and evolves, I love being there to document each milestone, from tiny feet taking their first steps to the chaos of birthday parties filled with laughter and cake.

I’ve had the privilege of capturing these precious memories not just for my family but for so many wonderful families in our community. The awards and recognitions have been encouraging, but the real reward is the joy in the eyes of those I photograph when they see their stories unfolding in my images.

I believe every family has a unique tale to tell, and it’s my job to help share that story with love and creativity. Through my lens, I want to celebrate these moments, big or small, that weave together the fabric of everyday life. It’s about connection, emotion, and capturing the essence of who we are as families. So come join me in sharing these joyous snapshots of love, laughter, and life!
