What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
A great photo starts with good communication, solid planning, and a comfortable atmosphere. Talking with your subject, understanding their vision, and giving clear guidance helps build confidence and trust. Planning ahead—choosing the right locations, checking gear, having a game plan for shoot and clear deliverables —ensures a smooth session. Most importantly, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment allows for natural, authentic expressions. When people feel at ease, the best moments shine through, resulting in stunning, genuine photos.

What inspired you to start your own business?
I went freelance as a photographer after working in house at a creative agency because I wanted more creative freedom and the chance to build my own business. Agency work gave me great experience, but freelancing lets me work on projects I'm passionate about and connect directly with clients in a whole new environment. It's been a fresh, exciting change!
