the beginning
It started when I was a little girl, accompanying my mom – a wedding decorator – to her events with my iPhone 4. I would always feel inspired by the details of the weddings we attended, the bride and groom, their love for each other, I'd sneak some photos to myself... it was like a dream. This experience ignited my passion, confirming that photography would be my future.
Years later I met my husband, we got married, and he gifted me my first camera. And that was the beginning of something beautiful.
Welcome! My name is
Salima
In the early years of my photography journey, I poured countless hours into mastering the technical aspects of my craft. I studied lighting techniques, finding perfect locations, and fine-tuned my skills in posing. However, despite all the technicalities I understood, I felt that there was a door waiting to be opened.
I vividly remember an instance during a wedding day. The wedding after-party's lively beats, there's a memory that stands out. The pure joy and love that filled the air as everyone danced and let loose. Friends and family shared laughter and moves, creating a vibrant atmosphere that was all about celebrating love and happiness. It was a reminder that beyond the dancing, it's the shared moments of joy that make life truly unforgettable.
When I found out I was pregnant for the first time right around Christmas, I was shocked, scared, and excited for what the future was to bring. Flash forward to March 17, 2021. The weather was chilly then, and I had my 16-week ultrasound appointment. (I could only go alone, yay covid policies!) My name was called, and I was brought into a room… moments later, as I was laying on the table, the technician … the technician didn’t have to say anything. I knew… and my soul was crushed.
I was taken to labor and delivery to be induced. After two days had passed, I had him in the early morning of March 19th, 2021. I delivered him alone. I sat in silence, as I held his little body in my hands, I felt the preciousness and how delicate life was, then cried for all the moments that would never come to be. Thoughts of God’s pain entered my mind – his ultimate sacrifice because of his overwhelming love for us. And in that moment, God’s presence filled the room. The peace that filled me, gave me the strength to get through that moment.
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." Psalm 23:4
The photos from his ultrasound, his hand and foot print, and the photos from the first and last time I got to hold him were the only things that I had left of his memory. This experience only further established my belief for why photography is so important.
Because it freezes a moment in time that will be priceless to future you.
A few months later, I filled my schedule with weddings, engagements, and families to distract me from my loss and to gain more clarity on life. Months later, a second devastating early miscarriage. I didn’t give up and kept going with my photography, documenting the most precious moments for others because I knew these would be photographs they'd cherish forever.
I found out I was pregnant again on January 11th, 2022, and had my precious boy in September. Time was a thief, I barely remember him as a newborn. But as he grew, his character developed. His zest for life, and renewed energy with each new day inspired me.
With the guidance from God, the door finally opened, and I had an epiphany. If life is made up of our emotions, feelings, and experiences… Why not create an intentional process and elevate these elements to create a truly authentic photography experience for my clients?
I've seen too many couples left disappointed because their photographer wasn't invested in their story. They ended up with photos that felt detached, and lacked their character. I'm here to change that.
