My Photography Journey (with a Camera Always in Hand!)
About 20 years ago, I picked up my very first digital camera — a Panasonic Lumix with a Leica lens — and from that moment, life was never seen the same way again. Suddenly everything looked like a photo opportunity. Sunrises? Photograph them. Sunsets? Definitely. My husband going fishing? I went along… not for the fishing, but for the perfect shot!
While he focused on catching fish, I focused on capturing memories — everything from carp and yellowfish to his absolute favourite, the mighty barbel (catfish). According to him, it’s all about “the fight.” According to me, it’s also about the size — especially when the biggest one tipped the scale at 32kg!
After a year of happily photographing just about anything that stood still long enough, I realised this wasn’t just a hobby — this was my passion. I upgraded my camera, attended courses, learned the technical side of photography, and stepped into the world of lifestyle photography.
Over the years, I attended many open days, worked with models, and even organised my own events for several seasons. Each experience helped shape the photographer I am today.
Now, I proudly run as a full-time after-hours photographer. During the week, after 17:00, clients pop into my studio for quick sessions, portraits, or professional headshots. Weekends are reserved for what I love most — maternity, newborn, and family sessions, both in studio and on location.
One of the most special parts of my work is photographing babies in hospital when they are just two days old. Those first tiny expressions, little fingers, and brand-new stories are moments that deserve to be preserved forever. I also create custom canvases from these images, turning memories into lasting artwork for families to treasure.
Photography, for me, is not just about taking pictures. It’s about freezing time, telling stories, and capturing the moments people didn’t even realise they would one day miss.
And yes… I still can’t go anywhere without seeing the world as one big photo waiting to happen.
