Happy You’re Here, I’m Linawa

In the journey of life, I've realized the importance of cherishing oneself. Whether it's buying flowers just for you, taking refreshing long walks, sharing a cup of tea with a friend, or simply breathing deeply, it's essential to treat ourselves with the same love and kindness we'd offer to someone else. As I stride forth, I find strength and inspiration in the stories and wisdom of other women. Their uplifting words resonate with me deeply, constantly reminding me that what we project outwards is a reflection of our inner self-love.

Speaking of relationships, have you ever come across the adage that one should never stop dating their spouse? Well, as a proud wife and mother to four incredible souls, I can attest to its profound truth. My journey has had its share of peaks and troughs. From being a single mom of two beautiful girls in my early years and navigating through a divorce in my mid-20s, to standing tall today, each experience has shaped me. And as I approach my 42nd year, I've become deeply passionate about capturing the essence of women through photography.

Welcome! I'm Linawa, a fervent believer in the transformative power of self-love. To me, nurturing the relationship we hold with ourselves shapes our interactions with the world. There are moments I find solace in solitude; in the serenity of a tidy home, the calming scent of burning incense, and the gentle ebb and flow of my thoughts.

On the topic of photography: my affair with the lens began in high school. Starting off in the darkroom, I quickly fell head over heels for the craft. Now, two decades later, I continue to use the magic of light to portray your unique spirit. There's something immensely gratifying about presenting someone their portrait where they shine in their truest essence.

At heart, I'm your quintessential friend who loves hearty laughter, profound conversations, and cheering on your wildest dreams. Dive in, let's journey together! ✨
