My Big Why

Hi, I’m Belinda — Photographer. Traveler. Mom. Life Documenter.

I help mirrorless camera enthusiasts capture meaningful photos—of people, places, and the world around them—with clarity and confidence.

Once a professional on a 5-day travel, 100-hour work schedule, I realized I wanted something more than a title or a six-digit salary. I wanted presence, purpose, and a way to reconnect with myself and the world.

Photography became that path.

Over two decades — from film to DSLR to mirrorless — I’ve documented my journey across six continents and photographed my two young boys in 35 countries. Along the way, I discovered a simple truth: you don’t need perfect conditions to create beautiful photos, just like you don’t need a perfect life to feel joy.

Photography taught me to see more clearly, choose more intentionally, and find beauty in the fleeting and imperfect.

That’s why I designed Document Happiness – Roadmap to Capturing Joy: a simple, proven approach to help serious photo enthusiasts build clarity, confidence, and consistency in any real-world environment.

Whether you’re chasing light across the globe or capturing connection at home, I’m here to guide you toward creating images — and memories — that truly matter.

Note: Most of the landscape photos below were captured with the use of tripod. For simpler hand-held landscape and an efficient system to photograph fast moving subjects, including travel, family, culture, nature, street and everyday life, check out Document Happiness.

Get Inspired

Last but not least, I'd like to share two quotes that have inspired me throughout my photography journey, and well summarized my overall outlook on life and photography.


“Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed
by the things you didn’t do
than by the ones you did do. 

So throw off the bowlines. 
Sail away from the safe harbor. 
Catch the trade winds in your sails. 

Explore. Dream. Discover.”

— Mark Twain (Writer, Traveler)

“To me, photography is
an art of observation.
It’s all about
finding something interesting
in an ordinary place...

I’ve found it has little to do
with the things you see,
and everything to do
with the way you see them.”

— Elliott Erwitt (Magnum Photographer)
