Photography has been part of my life since high school, when I first picked up a camera simply as a hobby to capture memories of the people and moments I loved most. What began as a creative outlet quickly became something much more meaningful — a way to preserve the feeling of a moment long after it had passed. Becoming a mom has only deepened that perspective. Watching how quickly time moves and how fast little moments turn into memories made me realize just how fleeting life truly is. If we blink, we can miss it. That realization is what inspires my work today. The desire to thoughtfully archive every smile, connection, and milestone so that the moments that matter most are never lost, but instead preserved through photographs that allow us to return to them again and again.
