My son is the reason I do all of this. He’s the heartbeat behind the business, the spark that lit the whole thing in the first place. When he came into my life, everything changed. I wanted more—for both of us. More meaning, more freedom, more time to actually live our days, not just count down to the weekend.

I’ve always been a full-time teacher, but the thought of staying in a job that required me to work after work, keeping me from spending time with my family just didn't sit right for me.  So I picked up the same camera I got when I was 16—the one that sat untouched for years—and started chasing something different. Something that mattered.

What began as a creative outlet turned into something so much more. I found myself drawn to the real stuff—the raw, emotional, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of moments. And somewhere between love stories and late-night edits with a baby monitor by my side, I realized: this is it. This is what I’m meant to do.

Now, every time I pick up my camera, I do it with intention. Not just to take pretty photos (though we’ll definitely get those), but to tell stories. The ones that matter. The ones that last. Yours, mine, and everything in between.
