about Me: Because I am important too And so are you!

I love Motherhood... But I needed to do something for me

Don't get me wrong. I love being a mum and I love motherhood. It's the most important job I will ever have in my life. In fact, I think it's so important that a part of my working job is celebrating motherhood and I love that part so much! But, as a human being, doing nothing besides everything for my children was starting to make me feel like one day, my life would have no purpose and I'd be left feeling like an empty shell. My kids would grow up and I'd be left at home with no "job" to do. No "purpose" to fill.

I'm in no way ready to leave my children for long hours day-to-day. I am not done enjoying them and filling my life with them, but I also knew that I had to invest in myself. I wanted to set my life up and fill it with something I enjoyed, loved and was passionate about... so that when they no longer need me, I have something that I love to fill my time with while they are busy filling their time with their hobbies, friend and future endeavours - whatever they may be.

And so, now, here I am! I'm a photographer! I got to turn something I love doing into my career. I get to do what I love and capture memories for you. I get to show you the beautiful you that everyone else sees when they see you. And I do see you! You are seen when you come to me. I want to get to know you, mamma, so that I can capture what brings you joy and then I get to capture the joy, the fun-filled moments and all the love. I know we are usually the ones behind the camera (or the phone) taking the pictures and we miss out on being in them. It really gives me goosebumps when I think that this is my job! It makes me so happy to be able to freeze moments for you. It makes me happy being able to capture memories for me too in my free time.

I love getting to know everyone who comes to me and gets photos taken. You become family to me, even if for a short while. I want nothing more than to deliver a Gallery of images that make you smile, help you to remember this time in your life and give you something to hold onto and cherish.
