Hi! I'm Shoua

I'm the loudest quiet person you'll ever meet.....Does that even make sense? Probably not! But, everyone who meets me always says I come off as shy & timid. And it's completely true---I am quiet and a bit introverted. But when you really get to know me, I am loud, obnoxious, and cheerful. With the right people and right environment, I can be friends with anyone. And I want to be friends with you!

I was born and raised in Lancaster, PA. I love my hometown, but I LOVEEEE to travel. I found my love for traveling in 2021 when me and my parents took a road trip throughout Arizona and Utah. If you knew me 5 years ago, you would know that all I wanted to do was stay home and play video games. But now, all I want to do is travel the world and gain new experiences. I have traveled to Arizona, Utah, California, Nevada, Washington, and Hawaii in the last 2 years! I love meeting new people from all over the world and I love learning new cultures. I am so excited to travel more and capture the beauty of this world!

Get to know me:

First off, I am a first generation daughter from immigrant parents. My parents had to work hard to survive in a new country, and spent the majority of their lives raising seven kids. When I think about myself, I think about them. I am a hard worker, because my parents are hard workers, To see them not have the chance to chase after their dreams makes me want to pursue mine even more.

Secondly, I am a sister to my six siblings. It is because of them that I have found my love for photography, and I feel so lucky to be able to bond with them, and to take their pictures and discover new and exciting things. I have never felt alone in my life, because all we had were each other.

I love playing Call of Duty and Fortnite. I grew up playing video games and I still find myself playing them whenever I have down time. One of my first careers I wanted was to be a video game designer. I guess I always had dreams to create! I also love to read books and binge-watch TV shows (The Vampire Diaries, anyone?)

This is my story. So now, I want to know your story. Being a part of your life means much more than you know.

So, what's next?

I would love to be able to capture the things that are meaningful in your life. A surprise proposal? I will be there in a heartbeat. You're now engaged? I'm sooo excited for you and would love to celebrate your love story! Getting married? I will be there through all the stress and tears. Need graduation pictures? I'm so proud of your accomplishments and will cheer you on your next journey. Overall....I want to celebrate you.

My love for photography has never been about me, but about how I can serve others. Seeing other people happy is my main priority, and it means so much more knowing I can be apart of it.

I'm a sucker for love. Self-love, self-worth, romantic love, everything. I'm here for it, and for you. I cannot wait to capture your love story and tell it to the world.

So, thank you for being here. I would love to be apart of your journey and capture the moments that will last forever. Thank you for getting to know me, now it's time to learn more about you.
