الناس بتفكر إن التصوير بالأبيض سهل... وإن تصوير الأطفال أسهل.

بس الحقيقة؟ جزء كبير من شغلي بيصير بعد الجلسة.

أنا بقضي ساعات، وأوقات أيام، بالتعديل. مش لَغيّر شكل الطفل أو أخفي ملامحه، بالعكس. هدفي حافظ على كل التفاصيل الطبيعية يلي بتخلي هالطفل مميز. تفاصيل إيديه الصغيرة، رموشه، ابتسامته، نظراته، وحتى تعابير وجهه.

وفي فكرة دايمًا بسمعها: "بس الصور بيضا، وين الإبداع؟"

بالنسبة لإلي، الإبداع مش يعني حطّ عشرين لون وعشرين ديكور بالصورة.

الإبداع هو إنك تعرف كيف تخلّي الطفل هو محور الصورة.

كل طفل عنده شخصيته الخاصة. كل طفل مختلف. وكل طفل بيحمل جماله بطريقته.

لهيك بحب البساطة. بحب الصور النظيفة والطبيعية يلي بعد عشرين سنة بعدها بتحسّها جميلة وما بطّلت موضتها.

وتصوير الأطفال مش بس كاميرا.

بده صبر. بده طاقة. بده تعرف كيف تضحّك طفل. كيف تريّحه. كيف تخليه يحس بالأمان قدامك.

ويمكن لأنّي أم، بعرف قديش هالتفاصيل مهمة للأهل.

لهيك أنا ما بصوّر أطفال بس...أنا بوثّق مرحلة رح تمرّ بسرعة أكتر ما منتخيّل 🤍

Many people think white photography is easy… and that photographing babies is even easier.

The truth is that a huge part of my work happens after the session.

I spend hours and sometimes days editing, not to change how a baby looks, but to preserve every little detail that makes them unique. Their tiny fingers, eyelashes, expressions, smiles, and all the beautiful features parents never want to forget.

One thing I hear often is: “But where’s the creativity if everything is white?”

For me, creativity isn’t about adding more props, colors, or distractions.

It’s about knowing how to let the baby be the center of the image.

Every baby has their own personality. Every baby is unique. Every baby brings something special to the photograph.

That’s why I love simplicity.

Timeless, natural images that will still feel beautiful twenty years from now.

And photographing babies takes much more than a camera.

It takes patience. It takes experience.It takes knowing how to make a baby smile, laugh, relax, and feel safe.

Maybe that’s also why I love it so much as a mother myself.

I’m not just taking photos.I’m preserving a moment that parents will never get back 🤍

One day they’re tiny enough to fit in your arms…
and the next, they’re crawling away to discover the world on their own 🤍

These little moments deserve to be remembered forever.

يوم من الأيام بيكونوا صغار لدرجة إنهم بيناموا بين إيدينا…
وفجأة بيصيروا يزحفوا ليكتشفوا العالم لحالهم 🤍

هاللحظات الصغيرة هي يلي بتستحق تنحفظ للأبد.

I honestly didn’t believe it when my best friend asked me to do a Mother’s Day session for her and her son…

I’ve known him since he was just a tiny baby…
and suddenly… he’s here, standing next to her, holding her, laughing with her… like time just decided to run without asking anyone.

I kept pausing while shooting…
not because I didn’t know what to do…
but because my heart needed a second to catch up.

There’s something so different when you photograph someone you love.
You don’t just see the moment… you feel every memory behind it.

And it made me think…
how fast everything passes…
how these little hands don’t stay little…
how one day, these photos become everything.

If you’ve been thinking about it… this is your sign.
Mother’s Day sessions are still available till the end of April 🤍

Don’t wait for the “perfect time”…
these are the moments you’ll wish you held onto.

احجزي هلق… وخلي هاللحظات تعيش معك للأبد.

There was a pause.
Not just in posting… but in everything.

For days, life felt heavier.
Quieter in some moments, louder in others.
We were all holding our breath in different ways.

And now…
it feels like the noise is slowly fading.

Not completely gone.
Not forgotten.
Just… softer.

So I’m here again.
Coming back to what I love.
To the little moments, the tiny details, the memories we hold onto when everything else feels uncertain.

Pictures might seem simple,
but sometimes they’re the only way we remind ourselves that life is still here… still happening… still beautiful.

I’m not “moving on.”
I’m just choosing to keep going.

And maybe, gently,
we all are.

🤍
