About me...
I’ve been taking pictures since I can remember… since film was expensive and pictures couldn’t be easily edited!!!
My first “official” photo shot was around 2001, when my Grandparents celebrated their 50th Anniversary.
By the way, my grandma used to hate her pictures… all of them!... until that day, when we spent couple of hours outdoors and she felt like a princess in a fairy tale… I still remember my
grandpa’s smile, a treasure I’ll always keep in my heart…
My gift to them was a couple of big frames with their pictures as collages, which still decor their beautiful house and remind us the meaning of true love and faithfulness.
After taking pictures in lots of parties, holidays, reunions, events, few weddings, etc… In 2011 I received an unexpected gift… my first “professional” camera (a DSLR)!!! Then I knew what I wanted ...it finally hit me!
I signed up in the photography school at Tri-Community Photography Program and started my new career.
Photography is not longer a hobby for me, now it became my passion, my art, the way to express myself and share with others the happiness of images.
After 2 extremely intensive years, in 2013 I earned my Certificate of Proficiency from the Tri-Community Photo Program, fulfilling more than 800 hours, 23 courses completed and over 300 seminars.
My journey has just started and I'm more than ready to grow in this beautiful world named PHOTOGRAPHY!
