Photographing your sweetest family miletones' is an honor to me. In my opinion, if a family isn't returning to a photographer, something might be missing out. My return rate is 95% and I believe there's a reason for that and it's called CONNECTION. I look forward connecting with you in a level beyond surface. I look forward seeing your family growing while we grow with you.
Hi, there!

our Growing Family
One event is enough to happen to turn our lives upside down. We start welcoming a love that we have heard of, but we never really knew it could fit inside our chest. The pregnancy test, the first ultrasound, the uncomfortable nights with pillows all around us (I swear I inherited the need of at least 3 pillows after pregnancy, but it was 5 while pregnant), countless middle of the night trips to the bathroom… and can’t forget about the roller coaster of emotions. I think I cried everyday of my pregnancy for any reason or for no reason.
It was raw and beautiful to start becoming a mother. I don’t ever want to forget how incredible women are and how privileged we are to bring life to this world. Develop a full and perfect human being, birth, nurture and love on your baby. How incredible are we?! It all felt magical to me. I completely dove into motherhood with my whole soul and I deeply live it day after day since I knew I was making a full baby inside.
The smells, the touch, the little hands and feet, the cooing sounds, the snuggles, first walk, first words… and suddenly you have siblings loving and killing each other and new phases while you flip the chapters of your life.

I photograph because I don’t want to forget. I don’t want you to forget either. More than that, I need to hold my memories with my own hands, almost like I can physically touch them.
This place you’re living right now is your place of gratitude tomorrow. The memories that will fill your heart and bring you honest smiles. It can feel messy, chaotic and I welcome you to embrace the chaos with your whole heart. Some days I’m tired, others I’m exhausted, but my heart is overflowing and I know I’ll miss these days dearly and wish I could go back for one more late at night snuggle with my growing girls.
"I photograph because I don't want to forget &
i don't want you either".
Something I'm very proud of
Birthing my two babies at home in our bath tub and not sharing my birth plan with my closest family because I knew they were not ready for my choice. Listen, my mom had 4 c-sections, she was really not ready to digest my choiceIt was really painful at the moment not to share it, but it was the best decision I could have done! I called my mom from my bed with my just born baby in my arms while my midwife and the whole team was still there so she wouldn't completely freak out... It was a moment to remember!
What inspires me
The courage to jump! Life's uncertainties can bring so much anxiety. The comfort zone seems so appealing, so comfort as it says. But the courage to jump is transforming and in that unknown place is where we can find the best treasures, isn’t it?! I quit my engineering job four years ago when I had my first daughter. I would have never imagined turning my passion into this business I’m so passionate about. One day my sister in law pushed me into creating an Instagram account to share my photos. Here I am documenting beautiful stories from so many families. Jumping isn’t easy and it can look messy sometimes, but we can make delightful encounters and most definitely find our most precious treasures and something powerful within ourselves we didn't even know about!
Close your eyes and jump. Into motherhood, into the next chapter of your life, it doesn't matter, just jump and find your treasure, it's waiting for you and I'm here cheering up for you & can't wait to document your jump!
