Thanks for stopping by, I truly believe my life is full of blessings

As a working mom juggling two toddlers, striving to create a ‘perfect home,’ and balancing my creativity with a fulfilling career, I’ve realized that over the past two years, I don’t have a single photo of just myself—aside from the two you see here.

The first photo was taken by my talented former intern, Maansi Srivastava, during my breast cancer treatments. I wanted to capture this period of my life, and Maansi kindly helped me document it. This portrait serves as a cherished reminder of a time that, despite its challenges, was navigated with surprising ease thanks to my own determination and the incredible support from family, friends, doctors, and colleagues.

The second photo was taken by my then 4-year-old daughter, Rose. It might capture the lively chaos of our front entry, but it also perfectly reflects the daily whirlwind of family life.

I am fortunate to be surrounded by a loving family and to have a career that I find both fulfilling and enjoyable. I hope you enjoy the work presented here, and if you’re interested in collaborating, please feel free to reach out. I’m always excited about new adventures!
