Give us a brief introduction about yourself?
Born and
raised in various parts of Pakistan, I currently live with my husband and 2
year old daughter in the suburbs of Seattle. I spend my time taking lots of
pictures for myself and clients, enjoying the gift of motherhood, blogging
about life in general and missing my family back home.
Study background?
I did my Bachelors in Computer
Science from FAST in Islamabad.
How did you got into photography stuff?
I grew up
watching my dad’s love for photography so it was in my genes but I didn’t
realize that till much later. I have always believed in the importance of
freezing our memories but it was only in the last 5 years after I got married
and moved to Seattle that I was inspired to make somewhat of a profession of
this. My husband bought me first DSLR and since then I have not looked back. I
love this hobby and profession because it gives us the power to look through
that viewfinder and find what looks beautiful to you and just click. It lets us
remember memories and moments. And to be able to give others the gift of
beautiful memories is one like no other.
What type of photography attracts you the most?
My
biggest passion in photography is finding beauty in ordinary every day moments,
and currently I am extremely inspired by lifestyle sessions. Where people are
captured in their own environments, their houses, their own city, doing what
they usually do, unposed.
