Tell us about yourself

I have always been passionate about photography. It’s the soul of feelings and creativity. When I look at professional photographers, I always think, “The people who make up today’s thriving photographic community are our eyes to the world.” And I wanted to show my world through my eyes. I never know what will happen tomorrow, but I want to do and create today and every day, that is my motivation. :)

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

To see the happy eyes of my clients. And being awarded and published in Bridal and Fashion magazines around the world.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Setting your mind in the right direction and remember that the beginning may be hard but believe in yourself and follow your guts.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Motivate yourself.
  2. Always be in the loop (trends, new additions)
