“My words convey my memories and my photography manifests my present.”
Just me.
My background is colorful like a butterfly but my story is simple.
Once, I was a little girl with dreams bigger than myself.
From the first moment, when my feet touched the ground, I knew my purpose:
to observe, to perceive, and to deliver.
Photography has been a part of me as long as I remember myself, with or without camera. As a child, I learned to capture images with my big blue eyes and store them in the deepest part of my memory. The world was a fascinating place to discover. Til one day, when someone placed a camera in my hand, I was able to reveal life to others through my eyes.
Truth to be told, I never liked reading or writing until recently when a memoir book landed in my home. Suddenly, my fingers itched and searched for a keyboard to write. Closing my eyes and using imagery from my childhood, the words were flying on my screen. Writing children’s books is like living inside the dream. It is a place where the magic takes over and where everything is possible without the limits.
