A few weeks ago I shared a blog post about my maternity shoot with the beautiful Emily and her husband Julius. Recently they welcomed their baby girl Lily into the world and I was very lucky to photograph the three of them together in their home. From the moment I stepped through the door I knew it was going to be a beautiful shoot as the energy in the apartment was ever so peaceful and loving. Motherhood definitely suits my stunning friend Emily. We started off with a giggle

Along side my full time job as a photographer I also teach part time yoga. I shared a little more about this on the blog a few months ago. I teach mainly prenatal yoga and there comes the occasion that my students choose to book me for their maternity and newborn photoshoots. This for me is an honor - not only to be part of this special time in their lives but also to capture these memories in a still frame. I am very excited to share one of my latest shoots with my lovely fr

Last weekend I had the lovely opportunity to capture moments with a gorgeous family who just welcomed their newest member, baby girl Mabel <3 The weather in Dubai has finally gotten cooler, which gave us the opportunity to head out into the neighbourhood. Old Town Dubai has a beautiful feel to it with bougainvillea growing wild over the sandy walls while the features of traditional desert wind towers can be found in every little corner.

Although they don't have a personality - show any emotion - or wiggle around as I am trying to capture them - I think they are absolutely beautiful.

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

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
