Rediscovering My Passion: A Journey from Newborn Photography to Business Portraits and Back

Updated: Jul 29

Photography has been a defining part of my life for the past 22 years. What began as a hobby quickly blossomed into a professional career that has allowed me to capture countless moments and stories. Over the years, my journey as a photographer has taken me through various specializations, each bringing its own unique challenges and rewards.

In the early stages of my career, I found myself irresistibly drawn to newborn photography. There's something profoundly beautiful about capturing the first days of a new life—the tiny fingers and toes, the peaceful expressions, and the tender moments between parents and their newborns. My passion for photographing these fleeting moments allowed me to create timeless images that families would cherish forever.



As my career progressed, I decided to diversify and explore other areas of photography. For the past 12 years, I have specialized in business photography, focusing on capturing the professionalism, leadership, and brand identity of companies through executive portraits, corporate events, and branding sessions. This shift brought new challenges and opportunities, allowing me to refine my skills and adapt to different settings and client needs.

Working with business professionals has been incredibly rewarding. I have had the privilege of photographing CEOs, executives, and teams, helping them present their best selves to the world. These experiences have taught me the importance of attention to detail, the power of a well-composed image, and the ability to convey a story through a single photograph.


Recently, life presented me with a beautiful gift—the birth of my first grandchild. This joyous occasion reignited my passion for newborn photography in ways I hadn't anticipated. Holding my grandchild in my arms and seeing the world through their innocent eyes reminded me of the profound beauty and tenderness that originally drew me to this specialization.

Rediscovering newborn photography has been like coming home. It has allowed me to blend my years of experience with a renewed sense of wonder and creativity. The delicate artistry required to photograph newborns, combined with the deep emotional connections I now feel as a grandparent, has brought a new depth to my work.


Today, I am fortunate to balance my two passions: capturing the essence of business professionals and the delicate beauty of newborns. Each specialization informs and enriches the other. The precision and professionalism I bring to business photography enhance the technical aspects of my newborn sessions. Conversely, the emotional depth and creative freedom of newborn photography bring a fresh perspective to my business work.


As I continue my journey as a professional photographer, I am more passionate than ever about the power of photography to capture and preserve the most meaningful moments of our lives. Whether I am photographing a CEO in a high-rise office or a newborn in a cozy nursery, my goal remains the same: to create beautiful, timeless images that tell a story and evoke emotion.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. If you are looking for a photographer who brings 22 years of experience, a deep passion for the craft, and a commitment to excellence, I would be honored to work with you. Whether you need professional business photos or wish to capture the early moments of your newborn’s life, I am here to help you create memories that will last a lifetime.
