The story of a photographer
Born and raised in Pakistan, my journey into photography began in 2017, and it was a dream come true, thanks to the support of my amazing husband. I embarked on a new chapter in 2020 when I moved to Dubai with my husband and our little one. Yes, it was right in the middle of the pandemic!
With a background in Architecture from the National College of Arts in Lahore, I’ve always been fascinated by aesthetics and design. But it was the magic of photography that truly captured my heart. From portrait photography to family moments, personal branding to travel adventures, my work is all about people.. celebrating their unique stories and capturing their essence.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me with a messy bun, lounging on the couch, sipping on my favourite boba, and editing photos while jamming to my favourite tunes. I’m a night owl at heart, often finding peace in the quiet hours of the night (which is when I get to work uninterrupted by my mini human’s demands).
Outside of photography, I cherish spending time with my friends and family, going for drives, strolling along the beach, and travelling the world.
I’m excited to embark on this creative journey with you and can’t wait to capture the special moments that make life truly extraordinary!
