If you’d told me a few months ago that I’d be signing up for a half marathon, I would’ve laughed. Most of you only know me as a photographer, but somewhere along the way, running became more than exercise, it became a way of finding myself again.

One thing I’ve learnt is that grief isn’t linear. Some days I feel strong, and other days, simply getting out of bed feels like a victory. Healing doesn’t happen in a straight line, and neither does progress.

But I’m choosing to keep showing up, even on the hard days. Even when the motivation isn’t there. Even when grief feels heavier than the day before.

Because every step is proof that I’m still moving forward.

If you’re carrying something heavy too, this is your reminder: don’t give up. You don’t have to move fast, and you don’t have to have it all figured out. Just keep showing up. One step, one day, one breath at a time.

You are stronger than you think, and you are capable of doing hard things. ❤️

Being a photographer is basically juggling 47 jobs at once. 😂

Shooting, editing, replying to emails, chasing invoices, charging batteries, answering WhatsApps, trying to remember if I’ve eaten, and convincing myself I’ll get to bed early tonight (I won’t).

Throw in half marathon training and attempting to have a life outside of work, and it’s safe to say things get a little chaotic.

But I wouldn’t trade this crazy little life for anything. Creating memories for my clients will always make the chaos worth it. 💜

No big production. No pressure. Just the people who matter most, witnessing two hearts choose each other.

It was such an honour to be trusted with documenting a day that was so deeply personal. A reminder that your wedding doesn’t have to be extravagant to be unforgettable, it simply has to be yours.

Thank you for allowing me to preserve these moments that will be cherished for generations to come. 🤍
Sometimes, the smallest celebrations leave the biggest imprint on your heart.🥺

Never got the chance to post these when I was supposed to… but I’m so happy I finally can. 🤍
What a beautiful day it was celebrating two incredible people.

And yes… I quite literally bawled my eyes out on their wedding day. 😂😭 (Occupational hazard? Maybe. Emotional photographer? Definitely.)
Looking back at these photos still gives me all the feels. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and moments that are just as beautiful as these.

Top-tier clients? The ones who receive their invoice and just... pay it. No chasing, no awkward follow-ups, no hassle. 🤍

You make running a business so much easier, and trust me, it never goes unnoticed. You are the real VIPs. 🫡

One thing about kids... they’re going to be unapologetically themselves, and that’s exactly why I love family sessions so much.🤣🥺💜

Every little personality shines through, making each gallery completely unique.🥹🤗

Your photographer outside of work: The complete polar opposite. 😂 Quiet, awkward, and absolutely uncomfortable being the one in front of the camera.

Your photographer during your session: Your biggest hype woman, doing everything I can to make you feel comfortable and helping you create the best shots. 🤞🏽😏

Warning: If you book a studio session with me, you’re getting a mini concert too. 😂

I *will* ask what your favourite genre of music is because good photos deserve good vibes. Lucky for me, this girl has the same taste in music, so between the singing, the dancing, and the “wait, this is my song!” moments... we somehow remembered to take photos too. 💅

Safe to say, we absolutely understood the assignment! 🤏🏽🤏🏽

Every single time I tell my clients I’m an introvert, they look at me like I’ve just told them the sky is green.

“You?! No ways!” is usually the response. 🤣

But it’s true! Somehow, the second I pick up my camera, a completely different version of me appears. I’m hyping you up, making you laugh, fixing your hair every five minutes, and convincing you that you’re absolutely smashing it.
Then I get home... and suddenly I don’t want to speak to another soul. 😂

My social battery has officially clocked out.😅
