From Unknowns To Unknowns

In April 2019, my husband and I moved to Abu Dhabi and lived there for exactly 11 months. We moved back to Ajman (where I’m from) March 2020. Our little apartment on Reem Island was our sanctuary. It was the first place we called home together, the first place that was entirely our own. There…

Reviving The Blog

Oh hi. This blog still exists. I didn’t forget about it, I’ve just been.. lost. Metaphorically speaking of course. I’m still here. I just felt like all this time, I didn’t have anything worth sharing. Which, I now realize, isn’t true. I’ve been to so many new places and met so many incredible people. In…

Dance Style Portraits

I love ballet. I love all things soft, delicate, and feminine. I recently watched a video by Sue Bryce about shooting dance style portraits, and wanted to try it myself. I wanted to see if I can pose girls who aren’t dancers in a way that would make them look like they are. Because really, what…

Damaged Goods

In our society, if you’re in your mid-twenties or older, and you’re not married yet, then you’re damaged goods.

She got divorced before she even started her marriage. To…

Fiona

I recently got a chance to photograph Fiona again before she got married and moved to Canada. I worked with her a while back on a couple of images and we always said we’d do something again but it just never happened. We ran into each other at an event and she told me she’s moving…

GPP 2016

It’s that time of the year! Well, technically it isn’t. Because GPP is usually in March, but this year it was in February. I didn’t take as many classes as I normally do, but the ones I did take were absolutely amazing. Not that I would expect anything less from Sara Lando. I did two of…

A Look Back On 2015

A little late to the game, but better late than never right? God, I’ve missed blogging. I’ve been jumping from one project to the other, one shoot to the next, that I seem to have neglected my blog yet again. I need something or someone to hold me accountable for blogging weekly, any volunteers? 😀…

On long distance friendships

Life has a habit of taking those you want closest,  and throwing them across the ocean.. I put off writing this blog post because.. ALL THE EMOTIONS. A rollercoaster of emotions. A never-ending, crazy rollercoaster of emotions. Two of my best friends live on the other side of the world, and as much as I’d…
