๐๐.
For some people, birthdays are just numbers.

This birthday feels like a moment to pause, take a breath, and look back.
When I graduated with a degree in International Management, I imagined myself stepping into the corporate world. I didnโt even know which company I would send my CV to first.
Then my now husband โ who was my boyfriend at the time and has always been my strongest support โ asked me a simple question:
โ๐๐ช๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ. ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฝ ๐ญ๐ธ ๐๐ธ๐พ ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฝ๐พ๐ช๐ต๐ต๐ ๐๐ช๐ท๐ฝ?โโจ
I wanted to be surrounded by people.โจI wanted to be recognizable.โจI wanted to bring my artistic personality to the forefront.
And then I looked at my Canon camera โ the one that had already been quietly following me through my university years.
Instead of sending my CV, I applied to an Art & Design faculty. I started in a tiny studio space where it all began, doing more free photo sessions than paid ones.
Then life moved us again.โจThe Netherlands - a studio overlooking Amsterdam canals, where my work continued to grow and be recognized.โจAnd two little children who needed their mama the most.
Then Canada.โจStarting from scratch once again. One small step at a time.
Today, as I turn 40, I realize that in some way I am still practicing my International Management โ just in a different way. Every day I work with incredible people from all over the world, and I am grateful for every path that crosses mine.
Today I stand confidently behind my own business.
โจVioletART Photography has been recognized as one of the Top 3 Photo Studios in Markham for the past three years by ThreeBestRated, and Iโm incredibly thankful for more than 300 5* Google reviews from amazing clients who trusted me with their most precious memories.

It became my way of helping people pause, take a breath, and cherish the moments that truly matter.
Iโm grateful to every person who allowed me to capture a piece of their story.
And the journey continues. โจ
