Photography is not just a craft or a career for me, it's my passion- a deeply rooted love for preserving and sharing memories. At its core, my "why" as a photographer lies in the profound joy of capturing moments of people’s lives and offering them images they can treasure forever. It’s about creating something lasting, something that will evoke emotions, spark memories, and tell stories for generations to come.

​

From a young age, I was captivated by the power of photographs. I remember countless moments spent looking at old photos on the walls of pubs—sepia-toned snapshots of strangers from decades past, frozen in time. There was a magic in those images. I found myself wondering about the lives captured within the frames: Who were these people? What stories lay behind their smiles, their laughter, or their solemn expressions? Those photos made me realize how much history, emotion, and life could be preserved in a single image. That fascination has stayed with me and fuelled my passion to become a photographer.

​

One of the greatest privileges of being a photographer is the ability to give families a tangible way to revisit their memories. Life moves so quickly, and we often don’t take the time to pause and truly appreciate the moments that matter most. Photography allows me to do just that: to hit pause on the fleeting, to capture the small but significant moments that make up a life. Whether it’s the way a child’s eyes light up when they laugh, the tender embrace of a couple on their wedding day, or the pride in a grandparent’s smile, each image holds a story worth cherishing.

What could be better than spending time with and recording memories when people are at their most happy?

These moments of joy, celebration, and connection are the heart of what I do. What I find so meaningful is not just the act of taking a photo but the role these images play in people’s lives over time. When I hand over a finished photo to someone, I’m not just giving them a piece of paper or a digital file. I’m giving them a gateway to a moment they might otherwise forget. Years down the line, they can look back on these photos and remember not just how things looked but how they felt—the joy, the love, the connection that made those moments special. It’s a gift that grows more valuable with time.
