Before becoming a mother of three, she worked as a graphic designer. In 2011, when her first child was born, she decided to dedicate herself fully to motherhood. Being a mother made her a photographer. She is currently working on her long-term project about her children. She uses photography to explore the themes of motherhood, childhood and family.
