My passion for photography began when I was a child. I discovered an old family album of a friend, filled with photographs from a century ago. There was a portrait of an elderly man who held images of his mother, father, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. That album was so beautiful, and from that moment, I fell in love with photography. I was captivated by how a single image could preserve a memory, allowing people to see and feel the past.

My aunt also had a collection of childhood and family photos—of our grandparents, my dad, and my uncles—and I was mesmerized by that collection too. At 12, I began taking photos with a new, high-quality film camera, an analog tool that sparked my early creativity.

Driven by this love, I went to art school and immersed myself in photography. I adored my classes, and I later earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in photography. Through my academic journey and years of practice, I explored every form of photography: theater, advertising, crafts, children, newborn, maternity, weddings, architecture, and nature. I worked in a family studio with natural light, using large format and medium format cameras, both analog and digital. All these experiences shape every piece of work I create.

Today, I have been a photographer for 20 years. When I became a mother, my relationship with photography deepened. As a mom, I see each photo as a way to hold on to fleeting moments. I pour my heart into each frame, ensuring that the feeling, the essence, and the pure emotion of that instant are preserved forever.
