Without question one of my favourite shoots to date was photographing the beautiful dancers of Sharmila's Dance Company. Sharmila was my dance teacher growing up. Such an incredible and talented woman who has clearly inspired the beautiful women in the gallery above. As I always share - I am so passionate about graceful movement. I have always loved dance - I danced growing up and even chose it as the theme for my IB Art way back in the day. Alignment is so important to me as

Super excited to write about my first oil painting! It is amazing how an idea develops - especially when you leave a piece alone for half a year at a studio and then make your way back to your paint palette with a fresh mind. I started this piece last November - however in beginning a new career I wasn't able to attend classes again until a few weeks ago. I had never tried oil paints before as I used to have very sensitive skin and the turpentine aggravated it. My skin howeve

I find it pretty amazing - the number and variety of people we encounter as we walk our paths. Not only do we "meet" these individuals, but thanks to social media - we are able to see the adventures they are on as the years go by. From my classmates in Dubai who have ventured out all over the world in the pursuit of their studies and career. To those I met in the modeling world - who are now volunteers, celebrities, mothers, entrepreneurs, students - the list goes on. As with

We say that we learn every single day - but I remember a time when I was 17 where that concept didn't quite resonate with me yet - just having graduated from high school - I knew I wasn't ready to go to University. At that time the seed started to grow in my head about pursuing a modeling career so Uni was definitely not on my mind. I did however wonder very often if I was missing out on learning - on using my brain. The stereotypical idea I had in my mind about modeling was

Last weekend I had the lovely experience of capturing beautiful Stella's one year birthday celebration with a cake smash. The summer heat did not stop us as we met up bright and early for the fun to take place next to the pool. The light was beautiful, the sun was peaking through, and the temperature was actually very pleasant. The fun had actually started the day before as Stella's mum and nanny spent the day making a gorgeous rainbow layered cake, covered in violet and yell

Since starting my career in Newborn and Lifestyle photography I have been very lucky to connect very genuinely with the many mothers and mothers to be that have been so important in my shoots. What I found ever so special was how all of these amazing women craved movement through and after their pregnancy. However the safety of their baby always came first and they were not informed of how helpful yoga could be in not only preparing a mother for birth, but also in creating st

My first photography session capturing New Born Twins

I have been spending a lot of time at "The Courtyard - Dubai" lately. What a beautiful creative spot! The moment you step inside the quaint space, you feel like you have stepped into a peaceful little oasis as the hustle and bustle of Dubai seems to dissipate. The courtyard has been around since I was a little girl and it brings so much joy to see how it has kept its character. This week I was very fortunate to take photos of beautiful Aya. I captured Aya when she was a newbo

If you pop down to Downtown Dubai, next to the Emaar sales center, you will find yourself nestled amongst colourful snails, turtles and alligators as part if the Cracking Art Installation. As a lover of art and colour, I had to get a few photos of the very creative and quirky display. Emaar is holding a photo competition for enthusiasts to capture the most creative shots of this installation. Im excited to see what everyone has posted. #downtownart #emaar #dubai #dubai #emaar

Recently I took photos of the beautiful and graceful Simona flowing in her Alo Yoga outfit. Not only did I get to capture her but I also practiced yoga with her... there were lots of giggles and mishaps but we did managed to flow in union and create some beautiful shapes, lines and mirrors of each other. #yoga #yogi #photography #photographer #model #dubai #dubaiphotographer #fashion #photoshoot #camera

Last weekend I had the lovely opportunity to spend a morning with Adel, her parents and her gorgeous wee dog. It opened my eyes to how innocent, free, precious and absolutely beautiful our youth is. To capture moments like these; pure joy in Adel's eyes, is a gift for me and teaches me not only as a photographer, but as a human, to be more adventurous, more innocent but most of all to be more free.
