Art has always held a prominent place in my life. As a child, any time not spent in school was devoted to the dance studio. Dance was my primary creative outlet, not realizing it would eventually lead me to photography. I learned the importance of preparation before every leap, jump, or pirouette and became attuned to the subtle cues that precede a breathtaking moment, knowing exactly when to capture it with the camera's shutter. This fascination with timing, where a fraction of a second could make all the difference, drove my passion for capturing perfect moments.

Now, as a lifestyle photographer, I carry this appreciation for timing and movement into every session. My dance background gave me the confidence to anticipate and capture those climactic moments. I found that my ability to foresee the peak of a dance translated naturally into photography, enabling me to freeze moments of grace, emotion, and artistry.
