The first time I picked up a camera I was only twelve. At that time there were just film cameras and I don’t know what I enjoyed more – taking pictures or spending time in a dark room and looking forward to a picture appearing on a piece of paper. Since then, a camera has always been with me, only its shape and processing tools changed.

In 2018, I decided to expand the horizons of my photo-shooting. My children are engaged at a dance studio so I started taking photos of little performers and later I began shooting dance concerts for the studio and parents to have a beautiful memory of the events.

Those photo-shoots motivated me to become a professional photographer and I successfully completed a Diploma Photography course at TAFE, Hornsby, NSW.

Now, as a mother of dancers and as a photographer, I understand how important it is to capture crucial moments of your children’s way to success and encourage them to new achievements and I’m happy to assist you with it.

Portraits are one of my favourite areas of photography. I believe that each person is unique and sometimes I just need to catch the right angle and mood to open someone’s beauty to the world.
