Born from Waves

Dylana Derjaj was born 13.07.2015. Born prematurely due to Major Placenta Previa, together we have had quite a tumultuous start to her life. 3 Months later, we are both finally out of hospital and healthy, but more importantly, happy. As a family we have so many reasons to celebrate, and I just wanted to take this moment to mark today. Perhaps one day she will look back through mummy's blog and see this, her very first post. We have so much to heal from, and so much to look forward to.
Dylana - feminine form of Dylan - Gaelic meaning "Born from Waves"

Behind the lens, I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm capturing memories and stories, a talent I believe runs in the family. The classroom has become a safe space filled with inspiration, where my classmates and I cheer each other on. Here, my knack for styling fits right in, blending with the skills of others. And our teachers, full of wisdom and encouragement, make every click of the camera feel like a chance for something great.
