I often start with an idea.
A light, a set, a feeling I imagine could work.

But the real session begins when you walk in.
When we connect, when I listen, when I understand what you need, not just what I planned.

That is where everything shifts.

A portrait session isn’t about fitting you into my vision.
It’s about creating something together, something that feels true to you.

Would you prefer to be guided, or to co-create your session?

This photo is from last year.

We look different now. Older, wiser, with shorter hair. We’re in different countries. Life has thrown its complications at us, the kind that don’t get shared on social media. And a photo like this is not possible right now.

So I’m holding on to this one until better days come.

I remember how hard it was to take it. So many bad ones, so much frustration. Me going back and forth from the camera. And then this. The last one. The real one. Laughter out of frustration. Boom.

This Mother’s Day, I’m not thinking about breakfast in bed or bouquets. That’s for the Instagram show.

I’m thinking about the women who wish they still had their mum. The ones who wish they were one. The ones holding everything together while the world posts its perfect mum life, and we all know it’s not real. The ones who are tired, exhausted, overwhelmed, desperate for a break, but with a heart full of love, hanging onto every little moment of joy.

You don’t have to have the perfect day to be a good mother.

Today is about acknowledging us, exactly as we are.

Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

What’s the main message of Milk Tales?

This was my answer on my very first podcast back in July, before the book even launched. And now, after being featured in Grazia, this message feels more important than ever.

Every story shared helps another mother feel less alone.

Every conversation breaks the silence a little more.

If you’re struggling with breastfeeding, please know: you deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. Your story matters.

Milk Tales available on Amazon
