However, turning your passion into a dedicated profession takes a lot of courage, conviction and sometimes a catalyst and I was no exception. After getting married to a Naval Officer, and entering the Fauji fraternity, I got to encounter things never experienced before - The struggles of uprooting your entire life from one place to other during transfer every two years,  spending time in solitude when the mister is sailing amidst unknown seas, making new friends, leaving old ones, picking up sports, doing social work and being prim, proper and prudent at all times. The other milestone that changed my prospective about life completely was the birth of my son Ebrahim. I wanted to cherish every moment and at the same time capture the memories. So, like any other obsessive mom, I took a plethora of pictures of my little one and also shared some with family and friends. That is when it all began. Initially, it was just appreciation, which soon turned into requests for clicking pictures of their little ones too. And gradually, after being suggested, encouraged and almost pestered by my husband and close friends, my reluctant self gave in and I started this venture, "StockByLove Photography".
