Embracing Change: From Medicine to Capturing CA Lifestyle Portraits

Early Years and Education

My photography interest began in a small picturesque photo store owned by my dad, where my mum first time met my dad. From an early age, I displayed a keen interest in the photo world around me. My inquisitive nature and insatiable hunger for knowledge led me to pursue a career in medicine and, in the meantime develop a photography habit. Upon graduating from medical school, embarked on a career in the medical field that spanned over a decade.

A New Chapter: Motherhood & Photography

My life took an unexpected turn when I embraced motherhood. This transformative experience ignited a profound shift in my priorities and aspirations. I stepped away from my medical career to fully embrace the joys and challenges of the photography industry. At the beginning my lens are the tool for storytelling, capturing the moments of love, joy, and wonder that unfolded within my family. After more and more people liked my images, they started to become my clients, my images are not merely snapshots but rather intricate narratives, weaving together the threads of emotion and timelessness.

The Birth of a New Career: Lifestyle Photographer

Everyone's life story is one of evolution and courage. From a promising career in medicine to the profound joys of motherhood and the enchanting world of photography, I embraced each chapter of her life with grace and determination. I like building connections with people, whether through the healing touch of medicine or the artistry of photography.

I hope my story will inspire you to follow your passion, to get out of your comfort zone, to embrace changes, life is entertaining, let's document it!
