about me.

capturing life through a lens

i'm safiya. a lifestyle, pet and portrait photographer.

picking up my camera to find beauty in life's simple moments.

i have always loved being behind a camera. There is something magical about capturing a shot that perfectly encapsulates a moment in time.
my goal when working with pets or humans is always the same. i want the process to be enjoyable. i want to get to know who is on the other side of the lens and hopefully help that personality show through in the end results. it's why i love photographing in nature, most people and animals can really shine.
