Social media has been more than just a space for self-expression nowadays. It has become a ground to connect people of common goals and interests. Ask any millennial where they’ve met their friend or beau and it’s most likely from the world wide web.

Cue a parent’s worst nightmare.

I kid. Though we have to admit, we need to give social media the credit it actually deserves. Networking is a beautiful thing and I’ve had my fair share of work, friendship and travel practicality stories because of it. Namely so, that’s how I met Aya. Her dreamy portraitures on the gram had me immediately hit follow and since then, we’ve been planning to work on a shoot together.

Once the weather and our schedules calmed down a little, we decided to hit up a neighbourhood university (guess where!) to do some shooting. I’m excited to show more of what we whipped up so watch this space!
