To be honest, I’d never thought of starting my own business. Neither did I feel adequate since I did not have any business background. However, a big epiphany made me realise that it was time for me to start my own business, that’s how I took the leap of faith.

One incident that left a huge impact on me was when I lost my equipment overseas as my rented car was broken into! It was about slightly over $8,000 in total. Not only was my bread and butter taken away, I incurred additional expenses getting new gear. Coming from safe Singapore, this was definitely a huge shock to me.

However, the damage was already done and I had to accept what happened. The solution? Put my head down and continue working until all losses were recovered.

This was a real painful experience but I definitely learned the value of resilience, and quickly moving on to find solutions to the problem.

The amount of creativity excites me the most in the photography industry.

Creating! The amount and ability to use my creativity to capture significant moments in a snapshot evoking strong emotions is what makes my endorphins up! Some think it’s a challenge, but I find it very enjoyable.

Additionally, the discovery of new, interesting locations to tell new stories of the many wonderful and amazing people I have met.

Confidence is not arrogance but self-acceptance. While empowerment is not earned but a gift.

These are lessons I personally find helpful in my life,
– Having positive self-talks and removing negativity in your head.
– Educating yourself; a growth mindset is important. It is important to upgrade yourself at any age.
– Being self-assured. Everyone is unique and should embrace their own unique skillset and journey.
– Stay patient on bad days and trust that the journey will work for good.

I am grateful for my gift of photography. I am grateful for the support of my friends, family and clients who helped turn my passion and childhood dream into a reality.

I’ve learnt to surround myself with good individuals who inspire me.

As Fempreneurs, the journey is sometimes lonely. Being in a community of inspiring individuals encourages me immensely. It’s like fuel to engine giving the drive and determination to push oneself to achieve their own goals against all odds.

Furthermore, I hope ladies realise their experiences and stories are worth sharing. It is a huge blessing to others. As cliché as this sounds, “Sharing is Caring”.
