Mother’s Day Mini Sessions – 2023

Posted in Uncategorized

This is a mini session offering to photograph the love and connection between mom and kids. The session takes about 30 minutes.

After the session you’ll be able to select your favorite 15 digital images for me to edit and deliver to you within a week. The cost is $400.

The session is for mom and up to 3 kids only. If you have more than 3 kids, it’s $20 per additional kid.

$50 is required to book, and the remaining fee ($350) is due on the day of the session.

You can check out the available dates and times here.

I’m looking forward to photographing the special bond between you and your kids/babies!

I’m Turkish, so Turkish coffee has always been part of my life ☕️🇹🇷 But after my trip to Türkiye this summer, I came home and somehow made it part of my daily routine.

I’m normally a filtered coffee person, but Turkish coffee feels less like “just coffee” and more like a little ritual. You make it slowly, sit down, drink it slowly, and usually end up having a conversation while you’re at it.

And then comes the fun part… coffee fortune telling. 🔮

In Turkish culture, after you finish your coffee, you turn the cup upside down on the saucer and let the leftover grounds create patterns. Once the cup cools, someone reads those shapes and tries to interpret what they might mean — a road, a bird, a heart, money, travel… basically, whatever they can see. 😂

It’s not really about taking tthe fortune seriously. It’s more of a fun tradition and an excuse to sit together, talk, gossip a little, and see what the cup has to say.

And somehow, after my trip, I started doing it by myself. 😂

So now I make my Turkish coffee, enjoy my little moment, turn the cup over… and wait for the universe to tell me what’s next. ☕️🔮🤎

Have you ever tried Turkish coffee or had your fortune read from the coffee grounds?
