My Why

MY WHY: THE PORTRAITS THAT MADE ME

Then & Now with Sebastian — The Heart Behind My Work

Mother & Son, In Every Frame

Every portrait I create begins here—with my son, Sebastian. These Then & Now portraits are more than just images. They are my legacy, my heart, and the reason I became a portrait photographer.

This collection is titled My Why because it captures exactly that: the fleeting beauty of time and the unshakable bond I share with the person who made me a mother.

I had to ask the most unexpected people—from clients to helpers—to press the shutter. These portraits aren’t always perfectly lit or technically flawless, but they hold something far more precious: us. The raw. The real. The utterly irreplaceable.

Through these portraits, I honour the laughter, the growth, and the connection that deepened with every passing year. And in sharing this, I hope you see your own story reflected too—the love you carry, and the moments you never want to forget.
