Story:
"Grandma’s Prayer"" wasn’t just a photoshoot it was a moment that changed how I see my work. It was a tribute to my grandmother’s faith and love, something I’ve felt my whole life but never captured in a frame until then. Shooting on film made it feel even more special, like I was freezing time, holding on to her spirit in every grain of that image.

That day, in the soft morning light, I saw her in a different way. Every picture showed not just her face, but everything she’s been through, her strength, her peace, her prayers. It became more than just photos. It sparked real conversations in my family about where we come from, what we believe in, and what we’re passing down.

Now, when I create, whether it’s a photo or making art, I carry that with me. I think about legacy. I think about spirit. I think about how to make work that lasts. “Grandma’s Prayer” taught me that creativity ain’t just about what looks good. It’s about what feels true. That project helped me understand that I’m not just making art, I’m telling stories that hold weight, stories that honor the people who made me who I am.
