While I've loved photography all my life, my professional journey began as a marketing professional. I've been fortunate (and stubborn) enough to keep bringing photography into what I do for a living. But photography took a protagonist seat in my life when we had kids and realized everything us and our family were missing out. Being an immigrant can feel very lonely often times. Even in an inclusive and multi-cultural city like Edmonton. Living afar, our relatives don't get to babysit my girls, take them or pick them up from daycare, witness their naughtiness, or spoiling them with desserts. Therefore, real images of us are gold to our family. Sharing with them the documentary photographs I make of us, they get to see and even feel a little of our beautiful and messy ordinary life, and make it part of theirs. Honest images of the little time we get to spend with them, are the biggest help we get to make our kids feel connected to our extended family, despite the distance. They are also the most authentic record of what our life is like, right in each moment.
